Rahul Sanghvi set a world record in 1997-98 when he took 8–15 for Delhi against Himachal Pradesh in a List A match. This stunning performance remains till date the best by any bowler in List A cricket.

The performance, which helped Delhi beat Himachal Pradesh by 90 runs, helped Sanghvi to reach the top of the bowling charts that season with 16 wickets and also influenced his inclusion in the ODI squad two months later.

Sangvi’s figures helped him beat Michael Holding’s record which had seen him run through Sussex at Hove with 8 for 21. Only Chaminda Vass has taken 8 wickets in an ODI (8 for 19 against Zimbabwe).
