Chirag Jani claimed a three-fer for Saurashtra. In reply, Sheldon Jackson (133*) and Harvik Desai (50) led the chase with brilliant knocks. The side managed to cross the line in 46.3 overs.

    Most runs in the tournament

    Tamil Nadu opener Narayan Jagadeesan, who was in sublime form, finished as the highest run-scorer. He smashed 830 runs in eight games at 138.33 (100s: 5).

Jagadeesan now also owns the highest individual List A score (277).

    Tamil Nadu muster the highest List-A total

    Jagadeesan's 277 was recorded against Arunachal Pradesh in the league stage. The same guided Tamil Nadu to the highest team score in the history of List A cricket. The side finished at 506/2 in their allotted 50 overs while batting first.

The tally includes four tons of which one was converted into a historic double-century. While his average reads 220, he struck at 113.59 in the competition. Notably, he also smashed most sixes in the season (34).

    Feats accomplished in the final clash

    Gaikwad, during his 108-run knock in the final, became the first batter to score four or more tons in two separate editions of VHT. Gaikwad now has 12 centuries in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, the most by any batter.

    Highest List A average

    Seven sixes in an over

    Gaikwad smashed Uttar Pradesh spinner Shiva Singh for seven sixes in an over (49th) in the quarter-final. The latter delivered a no-ball in that over. Gaikwad gathered 42 runs in that over (excluding extras), most by a batter in a List A over. The 25-year-old, overall, mustered 16 sixes in the contest, most for a batter in a VHT match.

    Best figures in the tournament

    Second title for Saurashtra

    Meanwhile, Saurashtra clinched their maiden VHT title in the 2007-08 edition. Though they reached the final of the 2017-18 season, the side failed to get the glory. On the other hand, Maharashtra enjoyed their best VHT campaign as they made their maiden final appearance.
