Dhruv Shorey’s unbeaten 109 in the Vijay Hazare Trophy has rewritten the record books, as he equalled the all-time mark for the most consecutive List A centuries, joining N Jagadeesan at the top of an elite list.
Vidarbha batter Dhruv Shorey became only the second player in List A history to score five consecutive centuries, achieving the feat in the Vidarbha vs Hyderabad match in Rajkot during the 2025 Vijay Hazare Trophy. His knock of 109* off 77 balls took him level with Tamil Nadu’s N Jagadeesan, who had set the benchmark during the 2022–23 season.
The milestone has put renewed focus on one of domestic cricket’s rarest achievements — most consecutive List A centuries — a record that has stood untouched for nearly three years.
Most Consecutive List A Centuries: The All-Time Record Explained
List A cricket, with its mix of domestic and international one-day matches, offers limited opportunities for sustained dominance. Scoring even back-to-back centuries is uncommon; doing it across four or five matches requires form, adaptability, and mental consistency.
Until now, only five players had managed four consecutive List A centuries. Shorey’s run has pushed that boundary further.
Dhruv Shorey: Five Consecutive List A Hundreds
Shorey’s record-equalling streak began in the knockout stages of the 2024–25 Vijay Hazare Trophy and extended into the current season.
Against Hyderabad, Shorey came in at No. 3 and built on a strong opening stand between Aman Mokhade and Yash Rathod. His innings featured nine fours and six sixes, powering Vidarbha to 365 for 5 after being put in to bat.
This was Shorey’s eighth List A century, but unquestionably his most significant.
Dhruv Shorey Consecutive Centuries Timeline
- Quarter-final (2024–25 Vijay Hazare Trophy)
- Semi-final (2024–25 Vijay Hazare Trophy)
- Final (2024–25 Vijay Hazare Trophy)
- Opening match, 2025 season (136 vs Bengal)
- League match vs Hyderabad (109*)
Across the 2024–25 season, Shorey aggregated 494 runs in eight innings, averaging 70.47 with a strike rate of 92.68, finishing as Vidarbha’s second-highest run-scorer.
Shorey’s record-breaking run is even more remarkable in the context of knockout cricket. Across the quarter-final, semi-final and final of the 2024–25 Vijay Hazare Trophy, Shorey scored three consecutive centuries — 118* against Rajasthan, 114 versus Maharashtra, and 101* in the final against Karnataka.
That sequence places him alongside Ruturaj Gaikwad, who achieved a similar feat during the 2022–23 season with centuries in the quarter-final, semi-final and final. Performing repeatedly in high-pressure knockout matches underlines why Shorey’s surge now stands among the most impressive streaks linked to the most consecutive List A centuries record.

Narayan Jagadeesan Set The Benchmark
Jagadeesan had previously set the gold standard for most consecutive List A centuries during the 2022–23 Vijay Hazare Trophy, when he scored five hundreds on the trot.
That run included a historic 277 against Arunachal Pradesh, the highest individual score in List A cricket — a knock that still stands apart even among modern limited-overs feats.
Most Consecutive List A Centuries: Full List
| Consecutive 100s | Player | Season |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | N Jagadeesan | 2022–23 |
| 5 | Dhruv Shorey | 2024–25 to 2025 |
| 4 | Karun Nair | 2024–25 |
| 4 | Devdutt Padikkal | 2020–21 |
| 4 | Alviro Petersen | 2015–16 |
| 4 | Kumar Sangakkara | 2014–15 |
Before Shorey’s surge, Karun Nair had come closest to Jagadeesan’s record. During the 2024–25 Vijay Hazare Trophy, Nair scored four consecutive centuries, including a commanding 122 off 82 balls in the quarter-final against Rajasthan. At the time, he became the third Indian after Jagadeesan and Devdutt Padikkal to score four consecutive List A centuries, placing him in rare company.
Most Consecutive ODI Centuries
While several players have reached four consecutive List A hundreds, Kumar Sangakkara remains the only batter whose entire streak came in international cricket. Sangakkara holds the record for the most consecutive ODI centuries.
That distinction adds further weight to his achievement, especially given the pressures and quality of opposition in ODIs.
List Of Most Consecutive ODI Centuries
No batter has scored more than four consecutive centuries in ODIs.
| Consecutive 100s | Player | Season |

| 4 | Kumar Sangakkara | 2014–15 |
| 3 | Zaheer Abbas | 1982–83 |
| 3 | Saeed Anwar | 1993–94 |

| 3 | Virat Kohli | 2018 |
| 3 | Rohit Sharma | 2019 |

The most consecutive List A centuries record highlights sustained excellence rather than isolated brilliance. It reflects a batter’s ability to adapt across conditions, formats, and pressure situations.
With Dhruv Shorey now matching Jagadeesan’s tally, the question is no longer about who holds the record, but who breaks it next.
