Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26: Hyderabad Opener Aman Rao Smashes Double Hundred vs Bengal

Aman Rao's unbeaten 200 off 154 balls is the highest List A score by a Hyderabad player and the ninth double century in Vijay Hazare Trophy history.

  • At the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot, Hyderabad opener Aman Rao Perala hit an unbeaten 200 off 154 balls, steering Hyderabad to 352/5 against Bengal in the Vijay Hazare Trophy on Tuesday.
  • Aman Rao carried his Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy form, scoring 104 runs in 10 matches and securing an IPL 2026 auction bid last month, bought by Rajasthan Royals for Rs 30 lakh.
  • Facing Bengal's pace attack, Aman Rao faced 154 balls, struck 12 fours and 13 sixes, and forged 104-run and 87-run partnerships with Rahul Singh Gahlaut and Tilak Varma.
  • The 200 marks the highest List A score by a Hyderabad batter and the ninth double century in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, making Aman Rao the 15th Indian man to score a List A double century with his first senior hundred.
  • After this breakthrough, his domestic performances suggest Aman Rao has the talent and temperament to thrive at higher levels and in franchise cricket.
