Aman Mokhade becomes third batter to score 800-plus runs in single Vijay Hazare Trophy edition

Vidarbha's Aman Mokhade becomes the third batter ever to score over 800 runs in a single Vijay Hazare Trophy edition, joining Prithvi Shaw and N Jagadeesan.

"He is also tied with Jagadeesan's record of most centuries in a single edition of the tournament, with five each."

Bengaluru, January 18

Vidarbha batter Aman Mokhade joined Prithvi Shaw of Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu's N Jagadeesan to become the third batter to smash 800-plus runs in a single Vijay Hazare Trophy edition.

Mokhade achieved this accomplishment during his side's VHT final against Saurashtra in Bengaluru, scoring 33 in 45 balls, with four boundaries at a strike rate of over 73.

Now in 10 matches, Mokhade has scored 814 runs in 10 innings at an average of 90.44, with a strike rate of over 109, including five centuries and a fifty, with a best score of 150* against Baroda. He is also tied with Jagadeesan's record of most centuries in a single edition of the tournament, with five each.

During the semifinals, he played a brilliant 122-ball 138-run knock to chase down 281 against Karnataka, the defending champions, and take his team to the finals once again.

Above him are: Shaw (827 runs in eight innings at an average of 165.40 and a strike rate of over 138, with four centuries and a fifty and best score of 227*) for Mumbai in the 2020/21 edition and Jagadeesan (830 runs in eight innings at an average of 138.33, with a strike rate of over 125 and best score of 277, which is also the highest score in List-A cricket history).

Coming to the match, Saurashtra won the toss and elected to field first. An 80-run stand took place between Aman and Atharva Taide for Vidarbha. A mega 133-run stand between Taide (128 in 118 balls, with 15 fours and three sixes) and Yash Rathod (54 in 61 balls, with two fours and two sixes) took Vidarbha beyond the 200-run mark.

Ankur Panwar (4/65) and Chetan Sakariya (2/45) contained the rest of the line-up well today, taking Vidarbha to 317/8 in 50 overs.

It's amazing to see these records being broken. Shaw, Jagadeesan, and now Mokhade. The Vijay Hazare Trophy is producing some incredible batting performances. The depth in Indian cricket is truly remarkable.

A small note of caution amidst the celebration. While the runs are fantastic, his 33 in the final came at a strike rate of 73. In a big chase, that might be a point to reflect on. Still, a legendary season overall, no doubt! Hope he gets an IPL contract.

Vidarbha is becoming a real powerhouse in domestic cricket! First the Ranji Trophy wins, now this. So proud of our boys. Aman and Atharva Taide's partnership was crucial. Well played! 👏

Just look at the company he's in - Shaw and Jagadeesan. Both are knocking on the national team door. This performance should put Mokhade right in the mix for India A. The selectors need to take note!

Five centuries in one tournament! That's the real standout stat for me. Matching Jagadeesan's record. It shows he doesn't just get starts, he converts them into big, match-winning scores. Brilliant stuff.
