Vijay Hazare Trophy: Young Hyderabad batter Aman Rao etched his name in record books after smashing a double hundred against Bengal in the Vijay Hazare Trophy fixture in Rajkot on Tuesday. Opening the innings with Rahul Singh Gahluat, the two put up 104 for the first wicket before Rahul went back for 65 off 54. While the other batters struggled to get going, Aman took on the bowlers with authority. 

Rao eventually scored 200* off 154 while Hyderabad posted 352/5 in 50 overs. In a dramatic finish to his innings, Rao needed a maximum on the last ball to get to his 200 and the batter hammered a six to complete the milestone.
