Shorey Equals List A Century Record

Dhruv Shorey, a batter from Vidarbha, has matched N Jagadeesan's record for the most consecutive centuries in List A cricket by scoring his fifth straight century. He achieved this feat with an impressive unbeaten 109 runs off 77 balls against Hyderabad during the Vijay Hazare Trophy held in Rajkot, according to reports from ESPNcricinfo.

Strong Opening Partnership

In the match, Hyderabad opted to field first, allowing Vidarbha to start strong. The opening pair, Aman Mokhade and Yash Rathod, formed a solid partnership, accumulating 148 runs for the first wicket. Shorey, batting at number three, took full advantage of this strong start, contributing significantly to the team's total of 365 for 5 with his century. He struck nine fours and six sixes during his innings. Other notable contributions came from Samarth R, who scored 63 runs off 46 balls, and Nachiket Bhute, who added 20 runs off just eight balls, while Shorey remained not out.

Shorey's Remarkable Form

Shorey's current streak of five centuries began in the knockout rounds of the 2024-25 Vijay Hazare Trophy, where he scored centuries in the quarter-finals, semi-finals, and the final. He was instrumental in Vidarbha's journey to the final, finishing as the second-highest run-scorer for the team and fifth overall, amassing 494 runs in eight innings at an impressive average of 70.47 and a strike rate of 92.68. He continued this form into the current season, scoring 136 runs off 125 balls in the opening match against Bengal, although Vidarbha lost as Bengal chased down 383 runs to win by three wickets.

Joining the Elite Club

N Jagadeesan set the record for five consecutive centuries during the 2022-23 Vijay Hazare Trophy, which included a remarkable 277 runs against Arunachal Pradesh, the highest individual score in List A cricket. Other notable players with four consecutive centuries include Karun Nair, Devdutt Padikkal, Kumar Sangakkara, and Alviro Petersen, with Sangakkara being the only player to achieve this in international cricket.
