Vijay Hazare Trophy, 2017-18: Day 7 – Statistical Highlights

A total of 12 matches with three each in all the four groups took place on Sunday in the Vijay Hazare Trophy where most of them turned out to be high scorers and thrillers. Shubman Gill’s unbeaten 123 helped Punjab to defeat Karnataka by four runs in a game where KL Rahul’s 107 went in vain. Ravindra Jadeja put his failures with the ball aside by scoring an unbeaten century in the 330-run chase against Jharkhand.

All the stats and numbers that matter from the 7th day of Vijay Hazare Trophy 2017-18:

6 – Shubman Gill’s six sixes against Karnataka are the joint most by a Punjab player in a List A innings. Harbhajan Singh hit six sixes in his 25-ball 51 against Gujarat in 2014 while Yuvraj also hit six sixes during his 93-ball 93 against Mumbai in 2015.

7 – Ishan Kishan’s six sixes against Saurashtra are the joint most for Jharkhand in a List A innings. Saurabh Tiwary also hit seven sixes during his 104-ball 102 against Hyderabad last year.

154 – The 154-run partnership by Jammu and Kashmir’s openers Ahmed Bandy and Shubham Khajuria against Services is the highest stand for J&K for any wicket in List A cricket.
