The Bengal Ranji cricket team created a global first-class record when all nine batters, who took guard, scored half-centuries in a mammoth first innings score of 773/8 against Jharkhand. The match will be remembered for a record that stood test of time since 1893 when the touring Australian team, in a first-class game against combined universities (Oxford and Cambridge), had eight of their batters scoring fifty or more.
