Tanmay Agarwal sets world record in FC cricket with his latest innings against Arunachal Pradesh in Ranji Trophy 2024

Tanmay Agarwal’s run-scoring spree in the match against Arunachal Pradesh has led him to the record books. The batter from Hyderabad scored a whopping 366 runs in the match against Arunachal in just 263 balls and set a new record in the Ranji Trophy. Tanmay became the first-ever batter to score over 25 sixes in a single match in the history of the Ranji Trophy.

The batter from Hyderabad scored his first hundred in just 81 balls. He improved his rate of scoring with every passing 100-run mark. The 2nd hundred of the batter came in just 61 balls. His last three 100s came in a crazy margin of around 40 balls. From 200 to 300, Tanmay reached to the milestone in just 41 balls and became the batter with the fastest 300 ever.

He did not stop there and played a longer innings. He ended up scoring a whopping 366 runs in his stay in the middle. It is worth noting that Agarwal did not waste balls and played an aggressive knock. In the process, Tanmay registered the fourth-highest individual score by a batter in the history of the Ranji Trophy. It was a knock for ages which will be remembered for a long time by the fans.

World record in six-hitting 

Tanmay hit 26 sixes in his knock, which is now the record for a batter in FC cricket. No batter has managed to score even 21 sixes in an innings in FC cricket. The previous record was held by Brian Lara. The former batter from the WI managed to hit 21 sixes in the match while playing in County Cricket. Tanmay has set a new record with his marathon knock filled with aggressive blows.

At one point in his innings, the batter seemed like breaking the record of Lara for the most runs in a single innings in an FC match. However, the innings of Tanmay were cut short by the bowlers of Arunachal Pradesh, who finally made an attempt and became successful in dismissing him. Only one batter in the Ranji Trophy has managed to score a 400 top date, which is yet to be broken.
