Before this spectacular performance by the Tamil Nadu team, this record was previously held by England who had smashed 498 runs in an ODI against the Netherlands.

During the match, Jagadeesan went on to become the batter to have scored the highest individual runs in List A cricket. Jagadeesan surpassed Surrey batter Alistair Brown who scored 268 runs against Glamorgan in 2002.
