Jagadeesan and Sai Sudharsan broke the record for the highest opening partnership in List-A cricket and they also became the first pair in the history of List-A cricket to share a 400-plus partnership. They broke the record of Chris Gayle and Marlon Samuels, which they created by adding 372 runs together in 2015 against Zimbabwe.

The Tamil Nadu openers added 416 runs together before Techi Doria cleaned up Sudharsan on the 3rd ball of the 39th over. The 21-year-old top-order batter scored 154 runs off 102 balls, including 19 fours and 2 sixes.
