Unwanted Record

Chennai Super Kings’ recent domestic buy found himself in the spotlight for the wrong reasons during the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025/26.

CSK’s ₹40 Lakh Pick

CSK picked Aman Khan, the Puducherry captain, for ₹40 lakh at the IPL 2026 auction, backing him as a domestic uncapped option.

Record-Breaking Spell

Playing against Jharkhand, Aman conceded 123 runs in his bowling spell, the most ever by a bowler in a List A match.

History, But Not the Right Kind

With that spell, Aman broke the previous List A record of 116 runs conceded and became the first bowler to go at over 12 runs per over in List A cricket.

Jharkhand Dominate

Jharkhand piled up 368/7 in 50 overs, led by strong knocks from Kumar Kushagra, Anukul Roy, and Utkarsh Singh, putting Puducherry under heavy pressure.

Match Slips Away

Puducherry were bowled out for 235, losing by 133 runs, as Aman’s record-breaking spell summed up a tough day for the side.
