Vijay Hazare Trophy: Meet players with most runs. No. 1 has never played for India

Vijay Hazare Trophy Elite 2025–26 kicked off with a high-scoring opening day on Wednesday (Dec 24) as the tournament saw runs flow freely across multiple venues. Indian stalwarts Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma led the batting charge with commanding centuries, turning Day 1 into a proper run fest and leaving bowlers searching for answers. Big totals, gigantic hitting and elegant strokeplay defined the action as batters dominated most matches.&nbsp;Still, amid all the runs and centuries, one sharp delivery stood out and reminded everyone that even on a day ruled by the bat, bowlers can still steal the spotlight. That moment came during the Elite Group A clash between Puducherry and Tamil Nadu at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/5-wicketkeepers-with-most-dismissals-in-ipl-2025-ms-dhoni-takes-this-spot-check-others-1766582514493">5 wicketkeepers with most dismissals in IPL 2025: MS Dhoni takes THIS spot, check others</a>&nbsp;Puducherry spinner Udeshi produced a dream delivery that left Tamil Nadu batter Sai Sudharsan completely clueless.

Udeshi tossed the ball up just enough to invite the drive. Sudharsan committed forward, but the ball landed and turned sharply past the bat. Before Sudharsan could react, his stumps were shattered. Sai stood still for a moment, staring back in disbelief as the bails flew.&nbsp;Despite that moment of brilliance, the match firmly belonged to Tamil Nadu. Batting first, TN put up a strong total of 310 for 7 in their 50 overs. Their top and middle order batted with intent and control, making the most of good batting conditions and keeping the scoreboard ticking throughout the innings.In reply, Puducherry struggled to keep up with the required run rate. While there were a few resistance efforts, Tamil Nadu’s bowling attack kept striking at regular intervals. Gurjapneet Singh was the standout performer with the ball, finishing with impressive figures of 4 for 32. Puducherry were eventually bowled out for 209 in 46.5 overs, handing Tamil Nadu a comfortable 101-run victory.

Indian batting stalwarts Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma had memorable outings on their returns to the Vijay Hazare Trophy (VHT) tournament on Wednesday (Dec 24). While both scored hundreds for their respective teams, helping them win their tournament openers, the two broke a few records. Already chasing Sachin Tendulkar’s ODI runs tally, Virat’s match-winning 131 (for Delhi against Andhra) saw him surpass Tendulkar to become the quickest to 16,000 runs in List A cricket.&nbsp;Whereas Sachin took 391 innings to reach this milestone, hitting 21,999 runs from 538 innings in 551 List A matches, of which 18,426 came from 452 ODI innings, Virat unlocked it in his 330th inning, taking 61 innings fewer than his batting idol.
