Captains with most runs in a single edition of Vijay Hazare Trophy

Nair has broken many records, starting with the most runs as captain. He surpassed Maharashtra captain Ruturaj Gaikwad, who had set the record with 660 runs in five innings during the 2022-23 season, averaging 220 and four centuries. Nair has five centuries, matching Tamil Nadu’s N Jagadeesan for the most tons in a single season.

It is Prithvi Shaw, who is currently struggling to make runs, but in 2020-21, he was making runs all over and scored more than 800 runs in a single season, amassing 827 runs in eight innings with an average of 165.40 and four tons. He also did well as a leader for Mumbai in the later stages of the tournament, especially in the knockouts. During his captaincy, Shaw scored three centuries and a half-century, helping Mumbai win their second Vijay Hazare Trophy title.
