Devdutt Padikkal sets Vijay Hazare Trophy record with third 600-run season, misses 5th century in six innings

Devdutt Padikkal set a Vijay Hazare Trophy record by scoring over 600 runs in three seasons, including 605 runs in six innings this season.

  • During Karnataka's sixth league match, Padikkal became the first batter to score 600 runs in three Vijay Hazare Trophy seasons at Gujarat College Ground, Ahmedabad on Tuesday, January 6.
  • Padikkal's past seasons produced 609 runs in 2019/20 and 737 runs in 2020/21, with a List A average of 83.62 across 38 innings, the highest for any batter with at least 2000 runs.
  • Despite stacking big scores, Padikkal has scored 152 runs in six innings this season, narrowly missing his fifth century with a 91 dismissal by Manav Suthar.
  • The victory secured Karnataka's place in the quarterfinals as they beat Rajasthan by 150 runs, posting 324/5 with Mayank Agarwal scoring 100 and bowling Rajasthan out for 174.
  • Despite his form, Padikkal was overlooked for the India ODI squad for the three-match New Zealand series starting January 11 in Baroda, despite his 13 centuries in 34 innings fueling debate.
