Vijay Hazare Trophy: Vidarbha opening batter Aman Mokhade etched his name into the record books on Sunday by becoming only the third cricketer in the history of the Vijay Hazare Trophy to score 800 runs in a single season. The milestone came during the final of the 2025-26 season against Saurashtra at the BCCI Centre of Excellence Ground 1 in Bengaluru.
The 25-year-old right-hander reached the landmark during the 11th over of Vidarbha’s innings, having required just 19 runs at the start of the summit clash. Mokhade joined an elite list featuring Prithvi Shaw and Narayan Jagadeesan, both of whom had previously crossed the 800-run mark in a Vijay Hazare Trophy season.
Mokhade has enjoyed a great run in the tournament, highlighted by an unbeaten 138 in the semifinal against Karnataka earlier in the week. Although he had an opportunity to surpass Jagadeesan’s record for most runs in a single edition, the Vidarbha opener was dismissed for 33 off 45 balls in the final, finishing the season with 814 runs.
