Karnataka’s 413 chase vs Jharkhand a new record in Vijay Hazare
Karnataka broke the record for the highest successful run chase in the Vijay Hazare Trophy (VHT), chasing down 413 against Jharkhand at the Narendra Modi Stadium Ground B in Ahmedabad on Wednesday during the opening round of VHT 2025-26. With this overhaul, Karnataka bettered Andhra’s record of a 384-run chase against Goa in 2011-12 at VHT.
The chase of 413 Mayank Agarwal-led Karnataka is also the second-highest successful chase in the hory of L-A cricket. The highest chase in L-A cricket belongs to South Africa, which chased down 435 against Australia in Johannesburg in 2005. Karnataka joined South Africa to become only the second team to overhaul a 400+ target in L A cricket.
On Wednesday, defending VHT champions Karnataka were set an imposing target Ishan Kishan-led Jharkhand. Days after leading Jharkhand to their horic maiden title in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, Kishan, high on confidence, recorded a 33-ball ton and scored a whirlwind 39-ball 125. Handy knocks from Virat Singh and Kumar Kushagra took Jharkhand to 412/9 in 50 overs after being asked to bat.
In reply, Karnataka romped home to a five-wicket win with 15 balls to spare, courtesy of a quality century from Devdutt Padikkal. Karnataka captain Mayank Agarwal (54 off 34) and Paddikal (147 off 118) got the chase off to a flying start, putting on 114 off just 11.5 overs before the middle order provided useful contributions, helping Karnataka set a new record.
