Highlights
- Rusi Modi of Bombay scored 1008 runs in the season. He played five matches and averaged 201.60. No other batsman would score even 900 in a season till W. V. Raman made 1018 runs in 1988-89 by which time every team played several more matches.[3]
- Modi scored hundreds in each of the five matches. His scores were 160, 210, 245* & 31*, 113 and 98 & 151 in the final. He had scored 168 and 128 in the last two matches of the 1943-44 season, thus scoring hundreds in five consecutive innings and seven consecutive matches in Ranji Trophy.
- Modi's five centuries in a season was another record. As of 2015, only V. V. S. Laxman (eight hundreds in 1999-00) and Kedar Jadhav (six in 2013-14) have made more hundreds in a season.[4]
