Shreyas Iyer took his run tally to 781 after just nine innings in this season  •  K Sivaraman

295 Target chased down by Mumbai in the fourth innings against Railways. This is their highest successful run-chase in the history of Ranji Trophy. Their previous-highest was 286, against Baroda in 1994-95; having won that game by five wickets, primarily due to to Manoj Joglekar's 114 and Sachin Tendulkar's 97. This is their third win this season, this being the second by successfully chasing targets in the fourth innings - they also chased 236 to win by one wicket against Tamil Nadu in the third round.
781 Shreyas Iyer's aggregate this season, which is the highest by any batsman after seven rounds. In nine innings, he has six 50-plus scores, including 57 and 91 against Railways in this round. His scores before this game were 15, 200, 12, 83, 171, 13 and 137. In both of Mumbai's successful run-chases he has made vital contributions - 83 against Tamil Nadu and 91 against Railways. His strike rate of 99.49 is also the highest by any batsman who has scored 150-plus runs this season. He has hit the most fours (84) and second-most sixes (19) this season. He was Mumbai's highest run-getter in the last season as well.
255* Natraj Behera's score in the first innings for Odisha against Haryana, which is the second-highest score for Odisha in first-class cricket. The highest is 300 not out by Shiv Sunder Das against Jammu and Kashmir in 2006-07. Das also made 253 against Bengal in Baripada in 2001-02, which is the third-highest for Odisha. Behera's unbeaten 255 is also the highest score in this Ranji Trophy season, going past Paras Dogra's 227 in the previous round for Himachal Pradesh against Services.
3 Number of outright wins for Assam this season - they beat Delhi by five wickets in their latest match, having already won by an innings and 152 runs against Rajasthan, and by six wickets against Haryana. This is only the third season where Assam have won three or more matches. They won three in 2008-09 and five in 2014-15.
0 Number of losses for Delhi this season before their five-wicket loss to Assam. They had won three and drawn three of the first six matches. They still top Group A with 24 points.
1 Number of bowlers who have taken a hat-trick for Vidarbha in first-class cricket before Umesh Yadav's against Rajasthan in the latest round of matches. Pritam Gandhe took two hat-tricks for Vidarbha, against Rajasthan in 1993-94 and against Services in 2008-09.
245 Number of runs added by the Baroda openers Kedar Devdhar and Aditya Waghmode in the first innings against Punjab. This is the highest opening partnership in this season so far; surpassing the 213 added by Aditya Shrivastava and Jalaj Saxena for Madhya Pradesh against Tamil Nadu in the second round.
529/6 Odisha's total in the first innings against Haryana - their first 500-plus total since making 552 for 7 against Jammu and Kashmir in 2006-07.
4 Number of centuries for Bengal's Sudip Chatterjee this season - the most by any batsman. He has scored 145 against Karnataka, 116 against Delhi, 116 against Vidarbha and 147 against Maharashtra. There are six others with three centuries so far.
8000 Dinesh Karthik's first-class run aggregate. He reached the milestone with an unbeaten 38 in the second innings of Tamil Nadu's game against Uttar Pradesh, just before the match ended in a draw. He averages 41.02 in his first-class career. Incidentally, he has exactly 1000 runs in Tests, 100 runs in T20Is and has faced 2000 balls in his Test career; thus his Test strike rate is a round figure 50.00 as well.
5000+ First-class runs for Robin Bist and Faiz Fazal. Bist reached the landmark when he reached 99 in his innings of 101 for Himachal Pradesh against Saurashtra, while Fazal achieved it during his knock of 19 for Vidarbha against Rajasthan.
145* Suresh Raina's score in Uttar Pradesh's game against Tamil Nadu, his ninth century and his third-highest score in Ranji Trophy. During his innings he went past 4000 runs in Ranji Trophy, and 6000 in first-class games.
5069 Aggregate runs for Abhinav Mukund in the Ranji Trophy. He reached the 5000-run milestone during his second-innings knock of 71 against Uttar Pradesh. He averages 50.69 in his Ranji Trophy career.
252 Praveen Kumar's wickets tally in first-class matches. He completed 250 first-class wickets when he dismissed Dinesh Karthik, in Uttar Pradesh's game against Tamil Nadu.
