Aman Khan sets unwanted record, conceding 123 runs in most expensive List A spell

Puducherry captain and all-rounder Aman Khan had an unforgettable day in domestic cricket as he entered the record books for an undesirable reason during a 2025-26 Vijay Hazare Trophy match against Jharkhand. The 29-year-old conceded 123 runs from his quota of ten overs, recording the most expensive bowling spell ever in List A men’s cricket.

The record-breaking spell came during an Elite Group match in Ahmedabad, where Jharkhand put up a strong batting performance. After being put in to bat, Jharkhand posted a total of 368 for 7 in 50 overs. The innings was headlined by captain Kumar Kushagra, who hit 105 off 104 balls, while all-rounder Anukul Roy narrowly missed out on a century and remained unbeaten on 98. Utkarsh Singh also played a valuable role at the top with a 74.

In the meantime, Khan was one of only three Puducherry bowlers to complete his full quota of overs, but he finished with figures of 0 for 123 at an economy rate of 12.3, surpassing the previous unwanted record of Arunachal Pradesh pacer Mibom Mosu, who had conceded 116 runs in nine overs earlier in the same tournament.

Anukul was the main aggressor against the Puducherry captain. From just 17 balls played, the left-hander scored 59 runs, hitting seven sixes. Kushagra also chased Aman and scored 33 runs off 21 deliveries. In his last over, Aman scored 32 runs and finally thrust himself into unwanted List A history.

In reply, Puducherry never threatened the chase and were bowled out for 235 in 41.4 overs, losing the match by 133 runs. Jashwanth Shreeram top-scored with a 74-ball 60, while Aman contributed 28 off 24 balls before being run out by Roy.

The 29-year-old made his List A debut for Mumbai in 2021 before transferring to Puducherry. He has IPL experience with Kolkata Knight Riders (2022) and Delhi Capitals (2023) and was recently picked up by Chennai Super Kings for INR 40 lakh in the IPL 2026 auction.
