On Monday, November 21, in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, 2022 tournament, Tamil Nadu posted a mammoth score of 506 for 2 in their match. In this match, wicketkeeper-batsman N. Jagadishan (N Jagadeesan) hit the best double century. He scored 277 runs in this match and made a world record. For this match, Indian team’s wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik (Dinesh Karthik Wicket-keeper Batter) along with Jagadishan also congratulated the team’s batsman Sai Sudarshan. Sudarshan also played an inning of 154 runs in this match. But Dinesh Karthik raised questions on the format of Vijay Hazare Trophy, 2022.
Dinesh Karthik said on his official Twitter account, “World Record Alert! Great effort by Jagdishan. Big things are waiting for him. It has been a good tournament so far for Sai Sudarshan as well.”
But, in the very next tweet, he targeted the Vijay Hazare Trophy, 2022 tournament, writing, “There is a different aspect of this match as well. Does it make sense for Arunachal Pradesh to play with elite teams in the league stage? This only causes a drop in the run-rate of the teams. Just imagine what would happen if it rained during a match against one of these teams. Can these teams not have a separate group (separate group for these teams in Vijay Hazare Trophy, Tournament) from where they qualify?
That is, Dinesh Karthik’s hammer went on the structure of domestic cricket. If observed, then the subject of the debate is clearly understood. Significantly, 38 teams play in Vijay Hazare Trophy, which are divided into 5 groups. A team from one state of North-East India is included in each group. In the history so far, none of the North Eastern states, Bhinrajya has won the trophy even once.
If we talk about Monday’s match, the Tamil Nadu team’s batsmen blew the test of Arunachal Pradesh’s bowlers. For the first wicket, this pair of openers shared a partnership of 416 runs. This partnership is the biggest partnership ever in the history of List-A Cricket.
Not only this, 26-year-old N Jagadishan broke the record of 22-year-old Alastair Brown of England and set a new world record. Remind you that Alastair scored an average of 167.50 in 160 balls with the help of 30 fours and 12 sixes against Glamorgan for Surrey (Surrey, England) Glamorgan vs Surrey 4th Round, The Oval, June 19, 2002, Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy), which was an ODI match of List-A Cricket.
