574 Runs. One Morning. History Rewritten — Bihar’s Batting Storm Shakes World Cricket

 A Score That Looked Unreal

At first glance, it felt like a misprint.
Then the scoreboard stayed.
Bihar smashed 574/6 in 50 overs, and world cricket had no option but to stop and stare.

On December 24, 2025, at the JSCA Oval Ground in Ranchi, Bihar didn’t just win a Vijay Hazare Trophy match. Instead, they rewrote the global List-A record books with the highest one-day total ever recorded.

Moreover, this wasn’t a slow build. It was a full-throttle statement.
And importantly, it came from a team few expected to dominate headlines worldwide.

The Record That Changed Everything

Bihar’s 574/6 officially surpassed Tamil Nadu’s long-standing 506/2 record set in 2022–23. As a result, a new benchmark now sits firmly in Indian domestic cricket.

Highest List-A Team Totals (All-Time)

Consequently, every future “biggest ODI score” debate now begins with Bihar.

 Sakibul Gani: The Fastest Hundred That Lit the Fuse

While the innings had power from the start, Sakibul Gani delivered the final explosion.

He hammered 128 off just 40 balls.
More importantly, he reached his century in 32 deliveries.

As a result:

• He now owns the fastest century in Vijay Hazare Trophy history

• He also holds the fastest List-A century by an Indian

• Globally, he ranks third fastest ever, behind:

  • Jake Fraser-McGurk (29 balls)

  • AB de Villiers (31 balls)

Furthermore, his late overdrive pushed Bihar past 560.
Then, relentlessly, it pushed them even higher.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi: A 14-Year-Old Who Played Like a Veteran

Before Gani’s fireworks, the runway was already blazing.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi, just 14 years old, produced one of the most fearless knocks Indian domestic cricket has ever seen. He smashed 190 off 84 balls, dismantling the new-ball phase with calm aggression.

Meanwhile, his timing was precise.
Additionally, his shot selection stayed ruthless.
As a result, Bihar seized total control early.

Ayush Anand Loharuka Keeps the Engine Racing

However, this record wasn’t built on one blitz alone.

Ayush Anand Loharuka ensured the run rate never dipped. He struck 106 off 56 balls, attacking spinners and pacers alike.

Because of his momentum through the middle overs, Bihar never slowed.
Instead, they accelerated.

Consequently, by the time death overs arrived, the record already looked fragile.

For decades, Bihar remained underrepresented in elite cricket conversations. However, this innings flipped that narrative instantly.

• It proved Bihar’s talent pipeline is real

• It showcased fearless youth and smart leadership

• And most importantly, it demanded national attention

As a result, Bihar is no longer an underdog story.
It is now a headline-maker.
