The ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy 2022 has well and truly witnessed players switching gears in the 50-over format. At first, we saw Prithvi Shaw scoring a fifty off 35 balls. 

After that, we witnessed Hyderabad-born Tilak Varma’s all-round masterclass of late. The Mumbai Indians’ player scored a century while also taking two wickets to his name against Manipur recently.

Meanwhile, N Jagadeesan, the Tamil Nadu cricketer etched his name into the record books after he went past Rohit Sharma’s tally of highest score in List A cricket.
