Thereafter though, openers Dhruv Shorey and Yash Rathod began to accelerate the scoring – the team 100 came up in 18.2 overs, and the 150 in 27.1 overs as both men scored half-centuries. They didn't stop there either, eventually putting on 224 for the first wicket before Rathod was bowled by Satyajeet Bachhav for 116, and Shorey followed suit four overs later for 114.

Karun Nair, enjoying a stunning List A season so far, came in at No.3 and put on 93 off 59 balls for the third wicket with wicketkeeper Jitesh Sharma (51). Nair eventually made his way to an unbeaten 88 off just 44 balls – his last 37 runs coming from just nine balls after he completed his half-century from 35 balls.

Off the final over of the innings, Nair slammed pacer Rajneesh Gurbani for three fours and two sixes to swell Vidarbha's total to 380 – a full thirty runs more than the teams' previous highest score in List A cricket.

Nair himself took his season run tally to 752 runs – as well as his average, having been dismissed just once in seven innings so far. His scores this season now read 112*, 44*, 163*, 111*, 112, 122* and 88*.
