5 consiquitive centuries by Dhruv Shorey
Two Indian players now jointly hold the record for most consecutive centuries in List A cricket. N. Jagadeesan, who scored five consecutive centuries in the 2022-23 Vijay Hazare Trophy, has now equaled his record with Dhruv Shorey, who has also scored five consecutive centuries. With his 5th hundred, the right handed batter again showed his techniques, skills and resilience. Modern day cricket often is defined by quick pace. But there are few batters in the domestic circuit who can play crucial anchor roles as well.
Dhruv Shorey scored centuries in the quarter-finals, semi-finals, and final of the 2024-25 Vijay Hazare Trophy. He continued this streak in the 2025-26 Vijay Hazare Trophy, equaling N. Jagadeesan’s world record by scoring centuries in the first two matches.
The second-highest number of players on this list is Karun Nair, Devdutt Padikkal, Kumar Sangakkara, and Alviro Petersen, who have scored four consecutive centuries in List A cricket. Kumar Sangakkara is the only player to have all four of his consecutive centuries in international cricket.In the match against Hyderabad, Vidarbha batted first and scored 365 runs in 50 overs.
Chasing the target, Hyderabad were all out for 276 in 49.2 overs. Captain Harsh Dubey starred for Vidarbha, taking three wickets for 39 runs in his 10 overs. Nachiket and Yash Kadam also took two wickets each.
