Tamil Nadu's Narayan Jagadeesan on Monday created a new world record when he smashed 277 runs against Arunachal Pradesh in Vijay Hazare Trophy 2022.

Jagadeesan, with his knock of 277 off 141 balls, became the player with the highest List A score. He broke the record of former English cricketer Alistair Brown, who had smashed 268 off 160 balls while playing for Surrey in 2002. As Jagadeesan smashed the highest List A score by an individual, let's take a look at players with the most number of runs in the format.

India's legendary batter Sachin Tendulkar is third on the list courtesy of 21,999 runs in the format. Tendulkar is the only Indian player to feature in the top-10 list of the highest List A run-scorers. The list also includes former Sri Lanka captain Kumar Sangakkara, who scored 19,456 List A runs during his playing days.
