Bihar’s young batter Akshara Gupta created history by scoring an unbeaten 306 runs in the BCA Women’s U-19 One-Day Trophy Tournament at the Sandis Compound Ground in Bhagalpur on June 18. Her outstanding innings is now one of the highest individual scores in women’s domestic cricket and has brought her widespread attention.
Representing her team in the tournament opener, Akshara played with confidence from the first ball and completely dominated the opposition bowlers. She remained not out on 306 and helped her side post a huge total. Her innings was filled with powerful shots and excellent timing, making it one of the most memorable knocks seen in women’s domestic cricket in recent years.
Akshara’s record-breaking innings included an incredible 55 fours and eight sixes. She scored her runs from only 126 balls and finished with a strike rate of 242.86. She spent 233 minutes at the crease and looked in complete control throughout her innings.
One of the most impressive parts of her knock was the speed at which she reached important milestones. Akshara brought up her half-century in just 16 balls and then completed her century in only 34 deliveries. Even after reaching three figures, she continued to attack and kept scoring freely all around the ground.
As the innings went on, she showed no signs of slowing down. The bowlers tried different plans, but Akshara continued finding gaps and clearing the boundary with ease. Her ability to score quickly while staying at the crease for a long period made the innings even more special.
Her remarkable performance received praise from officials of the Bihar Cricket Association. Association president Harshvardhan congratulated Akshara and said Bihar’s women cricketers are regularly making the state proud through their performances.
He added that the Bihar Cricket Association is working hard to provide better opportunities and facilities for players. According to him, innings like Akshara’s inspire young cricketers and show what can be achieved through dedication and hard work.
Bihar Cricket Association secretary Ziaul Arfin also congratulated the young batter. He said it was very encouraging to see such a performance at the start of the BCA Women’s U-19 One-Day Trophy. He added that the rise of talented players like Akshara is a positive sign for the future of cricket in Bihar and wished her success in the years ahead.
Akshara’s innings has now become one of the biggest scores in women’s domestic cricket. Before her achievement, one of the highest individual scores belonged to Mumbai batter Ira Jadhav, who scored an unbeaten 346 runs in a state-level domestic match. That innings included 42 fours and 16 sixes and remains one of the greatest individual performances in women’s cricket.
While Ira Gupta’s 346 not out remains higher, Akshara’s unbeaten 306 has earned a place among the biggest scores in the history of women’s domestic cricket. Her achievement has set a new record in Bihar women’s cricket and highlighted the growing talent coming from the state. At a young age, Akshara Gupta has already made history, and her incredible triple century will be remembered for many years to come by cricket fans everywhere.
