5 domestic records that will never be broken

#4 VVS Laxman- 1415 runs in one season

During that epic season, Laxman scored eight hundreds in nine matches at a sterling average of 108 runs per innings

One of the pillars of India's batting unit during the 2000s, VVS Laxman used the Ranji trophy to stake his claim to a spot in the national team.

After being dropped from the national side, he came back to Ranji trophy and scored 1415 runs in 1999/00, a performance which forced the selectors to call him back in the national team. During that epic season, Laxman scored eight hundreds in nine matches at a sterling average of 108 runs per innings.

In the 2015/16 season, Shreyas Iyer from Mumbai came close to Laxman's tally by amassing 1321 runs and in 2016/17 season, Priyank Panchal from Gujarat scored 1310 runs.

Although both these players were close to Laxman's record, they failed to break it even after performing at their best. Panchal and Iyer, both would agree to the fact that replicating such performance won't be easy as staying consistent throughout the season is a massive task.

The current structure of Ranji trophy has reduced the number of matches a player can play in one season and also some other issues such as too much travelling and injury concerns mean that Laxman might stay at the top of this list after all.
