Narayan Jagadeesan, the batting stalwart of Tamil Nadu, has written his name in the history books. He has broken Rohit Sharma?s record of most runs scored in an inning in a List A match. Jagadeesan scored 277 runs in the Vijay Hazare Trophy Round 6 match against Arunachal Pradesh. In doing so, he broke Rohit's record, who scored 264 runs against Sri Lanka in 2017. Here is an in-depth look at the other records and his stats this season:?



<h2>Narayan Jagadeesan Scored 277 Runs:&nbsp;</h2>



Narayan Jagadeesan scored 277 runs against Arunachal Pradesh and took the Tamil Nadu side to a record-breaking total of 502-2 in a total of 50 overs. This also happens to be the highest individual score in the history of the Vijay Hazare Trophy and the highest score by a team in an innings in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Narayan Jagadeesan broke many records with this innings of his. The Tamil Nadu squad as a whole broke many records too. ?



<h2>Narayan Jagadeesan Break?s Virat Kohli?s Record:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/11/Prithvi-Shaw-min.jpg" alt="Narayan Jagadeesan" class="wp-image-98010" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IMG SRC: The Indian Express</figcaption></figure>



Jagadeesan is in the form of his life and has scored the 5th straight century of the tournament. He has broken Virat Kohli, Prithvi Shaw, and Devdutt Padikkal?s record of 4 centuries in the tournament. This makes him the national record holder for most centuries in a single Vijay Hazare Trophy Season. Here is a look at his performances:&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td>Match Details&nbsp;</td><td>Jagadeesan?s Score&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Round 2: Andhra Pradesh VS Tamil Nadu&nbsp;</td><td>114* runs off 112 balls&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Round 3: Chhattisgarh VS Tamil Nadu&nbsp;</td><td>107 runs off 113 balls&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Round 4: Tamil Nadu VS Goa&nbsp;</td><td>168 runs off 140 balls&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Round 5: Tamil Nadu VS Haryana&nbsp;</td><td>128 runs off 123 balls&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Round 6: Tamil Nadu VS Arunachal Pradesh&nbsp;</td><td>277 runs off 198 balls&nbsp;</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



<h2>Suggestion to Establish a Relegation System in Indian Domestic Cricket:?</h2>



Arunachal Pradesh on the other hand got wrapped up for a meager 71 runs. Hence Tamil Nadu registered a 435-run victory. The plate group formation needs to be considered strongly for weaker teams such as the teams from the North East and smaller teams like Pondicherry. A relegation system to relegate the weaker teams to a lower pool needs to be formed. Else these domestic records will lose all sorts of creditability. This suggestion comes from a true cricket fan and even many analysts such as Aakash Chopra and VVS Laxman have been vocal about it. ?

Narayan Jagadeesan Breaks List A Records after Scoring 277 in Vijay Hazare Trophy. Best Innings.&nbsp;

narayan-jagadeesan-breaks-list-a-records-after-scoring-277-in-vijay-hazare-trophy-best-innings

Ruturaj Gaikwad Creates History: Ruturaj Gaikwad, the opener for Chennai Super Kings and Maharashtra, created List A history by smashing 43 runs and seven sixes in a single over. Gaikwad accomplished the feat on Monday at the Narendra Modi Stadium B Ground in Ahmedabad while batting first for Maharashtra against Uttar Pradesh in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2022 quarterfinal (November 28).



Ruturaj Gaikwad, the opening batsman for Maharashtra, displayed his blistering best performance against Uttar Pradesh in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy quarter-final. His onslaught of 220 not out helped his team post 330 runs in the sanctioned fifty overs. After Tamil Nadu's opener Narayan Jagadeesan, who had scored 277 against Arunachal Pradesh, Gaikwad smashed the second double hundred of the <a href="https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/vijay-hazare-trophy-2022-23-1332914" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Vijay Hazare Trophy 2022 season.</a>

<h4>Ruturaj Gaikwad Creates History:</h4>



Beginning on 165, the 49th over from UP left-arm spinner Shiva Singh, Gaikwad had already surpassed a double hundred by the time he smashed his sixth six in that over.

</div></figure>



The prolific opener has scored 987 runs at a strike rate of 115 and has six centuries (including a double century) under his belt in the last eight innings. In the last eight innings, he scored 136 not out, 154 not out, 124, 21, 168, 124 not out, 40 and 220 not out. With at least 50 innings played, Ruturaj Gaikwad currently owns the highest List A average (58.71) in the entire world. (3758 runs in 69 innings). He has left England's Sam Hahn (58.54) behind.



The young starting opener has joined Rohit Sharma as the only other Indian batsman to hit 16 sixes in a List A innings. In an ODI match against Sri Lanka, Rohit scored 264 points, accomplishing this mark.



While 36 runs in an over in a first-class match are generally considered the record, it has actually been achieved twice, by Garry Sobers and Ravi Shastri. The biggest is perhaps the 77 runs in an over by Bert Vance of Wellington conceded during a Shell Trophy match against Canterbury in February 1990 in strange circumstances.

The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is just a month away, and the two-time champion, Australia, have been hit with a couple of massive injury-related blows. Star pacer Josh Hazlewood, who was ruled out of the recently concluded Border-Gavaskar Trophy, might not take part in the upcoming mega event, and now, there is another massive injury concern.
ODI captain Pat Cummins is likely to miss the coming event. This news has certainly hit the team and Australian fans, as the captain is a key member of the squad and has been nursing an ankle injury. His participation in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is hanging by a thin thread.
Notably, Australia are scheduled to tour Sri Lanka for two test matches ahead of the coming ICC event. Cummins has been rested, and Steve Smith has been given the captaincy duties for the upcoming series. Australia have already qualified for the World Test Championship final, which is why the coming tests don't hold much value and their result won't affect anything. Hence, Cricket Australia decided to give Cummins a rest.
<h2>Pat Cummins might miss the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 due to an ankle injury</h2>
The captain, Pat Cummins, played a crucial role in helping Australia win the much-awaited Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. He finished with the second-most wickets in the series after Jasprit Bumrah (32). Cummins took 25 wickets at an average of 21.36. He also scored 159 runs with the bat in this low-scoring series.
However, playing all five tests on the trot has seemed to have affected him, and the captain has sustained an ankle soreness. Meanwhile, the captain is on leave because of the birth of his second child, which was also one key reason for him missing the Sri Lanka tour. That's what George Bailey, the chief selector of Australia, also confirmed in one of his statements.
But the recent news has not just raised questions about his availablity but also his participation in the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy. He is set to undergo scans for his sore ankle. Bailey said, "We’ll have to wait and see when the scan comes back and see how it's tracking. There’s a little bit of work to do.”
That indicates that the two-time Champions Trophy winner are in jeopardy. If Cummins couldn't make it in time, then Mitchell Marsh is likely to lead Australia in the mega event, which will begin on February 19. Australia are placed in Group B, and they will begin their campaign on February 22 against England.

Pat Cummins led Australia to to the Border-Gavaskar Trophy win after a wait of ten years. Cummins is likely to miss the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 due to injury.

Australia Tour of Sri Lanka 2025: Australia, after having a dominating Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India, are all set to tour Sri Lanka for a red-ball series. Cricket Australia have announced the squad for the tour today and Steve Smith is named captain of the side as Pat Cummins is rested.
Australia won the Border Gavaskar Trophy after a decade this year. The series started with Perth's loss for them and many ruled them out as a competition against India this time as well. But, they owned strong character and won three out of four test matches clinching the series 3-1. 
The entire bowling department was thoroughly in the best of their forms, the batting looked damped in the first two tests but by the end of BGT 2025, the entire batting lineup got some runs from their bat. 
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202412/image_430x256_676e141bad740.jpg" alt="">
Now, Australia has unveiled a 16-player squad for their upcoming two-match Test series in Sri Lanka, with a few surprising changes. Skipper Pat Cummins will miss the tour as he takes paternity leave to welcome his second child while continuing to recover from an ankle issue that plagued him throughout the home season.
Meanwhile, Mitchell Marsh, who was part of the team that triumphed over India, has been left out. Adding to the injury concerns, Josh Hazlewood remains unavailable due to the setback that sidelined him during the latter stages of the India series. These adjustments set the stage for an intriguing challenge as Australia gears up for the Sri Lankan Tests.
<h2>Australia Squad for Sri Lanka Tour</h2>
Steve Smith (C), Travis Head(VC), Usman Khawaja, Sam Konstas, Marnus Labuschagne, Alex Carey, Josh Inglis, Nathan McSweeney, Beau Webster, Nathan Lyon, Mitchell Starc, Cooper Connolly, Todd Murphy, Matt Kuhnemann, Sean Abbott
Australia's squad for the two-Test series in Sri Lanka signals a clear strategy to tackle spin-friendly conditions. With only two frontline pacers, Mitchell Starc and Sean Abbott, the focus has shifted firmly to spin.
Todd Murphy and Matt Kuhnemann join the experienced Nathan Lyon, creating a strong spin arsenal designed for the turning tracks of Galle. This balanced mix of experience and fresh talent shows how the selectors are adapting to the challenges of playing conditions in Sri Lanka.
On the batting front, Nathan McSweeney has earned a spot in the squad despite falling out of favor during the India series. Adding a fresh spark, young Cooper Connolly, a left-handed batter who can also bowl orthodox spin, has received his first-ever Test call-up. His inclusion not only reflects Australia’s faith in young talent but also highlights their intent to embrace versatility.
Sam Konstas also retained his spot in the side. Alex Carey and Josh Inglis are two wicket-keeping options and the presence of Vice Captain Travis Head provides an absolute balance to the squad. With these selections, Australia seems ready to take on the Sri Lankan conditions with both skill and strategy.

The next big destination for cricket fans is the upcoming mega event. It is the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which is all set to take place in Pakistan and the UAE. We are just five weeks away from the ninth edition, as the tournament will kick off on January 19 in Karachi.
The top 8 teams will be taking part in the tournament and will be divided into two groups of four teams each. But with a little over one month left in the start of the mega event, the drama continues to take new episodes.
Firstly, it was the tensions between the Indian Board and the Pakistan Cricket Board that forced the ICC to go for a hybrid model where India will play all their matches in Dubai after the Indian Board refused to send their team to Pakistan, citing security concerns.
<h3>Pakistan to lose the hosting rights of ICC Champions Trophy 2025?</h3>
As a result, the ICC added the UAE as the venue for Indian matches in Dubai, which will be a neutral venue. But it looks like the clouds of uncertainty have loomed once again over the hosting rights of the events. As per the latest media reports, it has been learned that the construction work at the three shortlisted venues in Pakistan is nowhere near done. There are 35 left in the start of the tournament, and the renovation work, which began in August last year, has not been completed.
The deadline to complete the renovation work was December 31, which has passed. According to the Times of India, the stadiums are still far away from the completion of the work. As per the TOI's source, some parts of the stadium are still under construction, and the finishing work will take a bit longer. The work to be done related to fencing and placing of floodlights and some other detailing work is still pending.
The three venues to host matches are National Bank Stadium in Karachi, Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, and Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. This came to notice when the PCB decided to shift the coming ODI tri-series in Pakistan, involving New Zealand and South Africa, from Multan to Lahore and Karachi.
However, the PCB has declined all such rumours and said that the work will be done as planned. Notably, the ICC will schedule an inspection, and a team will be sent to check the arrangements of all three venues. PCB will hand over all three venues to ICC on February 12. But if the shortlisted stadiums don't meet the expectations by then, the ICC can shift the entire ICC Champions Trophy 2025 to the UAE.

ICC Champions Trophy 2025 to shift from Pakistan to UAE completely? Here's why

India keeper-batter Sanju Samson might be a surprise inclusion in the Indian team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. As per the reports in India Today, it is learned that the right-hander is likely to be there as the backup keeper for Rishabh Pant in the team. 
The reports stated that Sanju Samson's inclusion in the Indian team will depend on how the BCCI treats Gautam Gambhir. It is learned that if the head coach has the same say in the selection matters that he had during the Australia tour, then the keeper-batter might be included in the Indian team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
The India squad for the Australia tour was mostly picked on the recommendation of Gautam Gambhir. The head coach played a huge role in the selection of Harshit Rana and Nitish Kumar Reddy. But the team failing badly there didn't go any good to the head coach. 
Some reports claimed that head coach Gautam Gambhir won't be having a say in selection matters. However, if that isn't the case, then the reports in India Today say that the head coach's favourite, Sanju Samson, will be picked for the team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
 Rishabh Pant will be the first-choice keeper in the team, and Sanju Samson will be serving as backup.
It is learned that Rishabh Pant will be the first-choice keeper in the team, and Sanju Samson will be serving as backup. This will be a massive step for the Indian team going forward, as Samson has been in hot form in white-ball cricket, especially in T20 cricket. 
Sanju Samson has made a staggering return to the Indian T20I setup as he slammed three centuries in the two series that were played. The keeper-batter also has a great record in the ODIs as well as he has an average of over 56 in his short career and would want to cash on that as well. 
ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is all set to begin from 19th February. The Indian team for the tournament is all set to be announced soon, and it is learned that Rohit Sharma will be leading the team, which will see some of the expected names.

India keeper-batter Sanju Samson might be a surprise inclusion in the Indian team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Sanju Samson to get nod ahead in Indian squad? Massive report comes on Gautam Gambhir's 'favourite'

icc-champions-trophy-2025-sanju-samson-to-get-nod-ahead-in-indian-squad-massive-report-comes-on-gautam-gambhir-s-favourite-

Chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar is all set to meet captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Gautam Gambhir along with the BCCI officials to do the post martom of of the team's poor outing in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The India team faced a 3-1 thrashing at the hands of Australia in a five-match series. 
Ajit Agarkar will be meeting Rohit Sharma and Gautam Gambhir on Sunday, the same day when the BCCI will be appointing Devajit Saikia as the new BCCI secretary. While this is one development, other claims the captain Rohit and Gambhir will be at the receiving end of some harsh questions by the BCCI.
The reports claimed that there will be informal and formal meetings among selectors and all the issues will be addressed. This will also include India's poor performances in the Tests last year. India faced a 3-0 whitewash at home against New Zealand and then suffered a loss to Australia. 
Another issue that will be addressed by the BCCI will be the poor form of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Both the stalwarts of the Indian team failed badly in the entire Test season, and hence, discussions related to their future will be taking place as well among the board members and head coach. 
<h2>Ravichandran Ashwin's announcement of retirement during mid-tour will also be discussed - Reports</h2>
It is also learned that Ravichandran Ashwin's announcement of retirement during mid-tour will also be discussed, along with the rumours of things not good in the dressing room will be addressed as well. The source close to the developments told Hindustan Times: 
"The Australian tour, which immediately followed the 0-3 rout at home to New Zealand, was expected to decide the fate of many senior players. The 3-1 loss shut the door on India’s WTC final hopes, which is seen as a big setback. 
" Off-spinner R Ashwin’s mid-tour retirement and return home, murmurs of team discontent on tour, Rohit’s free fall in form that resulted in his sitting out the final Test at Sydney and the prolonged lean run of Virat Kohli has left Indian cricket faced with several searching questions. 
"All these are likely to be addressed in a number of formal and informal meetings among selectors and the administrators in the coming days." 
It remains to be seen what conclusion will come out once the BCCI officials meet. The next Test match of India will be played in June when the team will tour England.
