"His unbeaten 109 against Hyderabad was his fifth century in a row, equalling Jagadeesan's record"

Dhruv Shorey etched his name in history, equalling N Jagadeesan's record for most consecutive List A centuries (five) with an unbeaten 109 off 77 against Hyderabad in Vijay Hazare Trophy, Rajkot. No.3 Shorey built on openers' 148-run stand, smashing 9 fours and 6 sixes as Vidarbha hit 365/5. His eighth List A ton underscores Vidarbha's title push.

Shorey's purple patch began in 2024-25 knockouts: centuries in quarter-final, semi-final, and final, aggregating 494 runs in 8 innings (avg high, 5th overall). Teammate Karun Nair complemented, but Shorey's consistency (8 tons total) rivals legends like Tendulkar's domestic streaks. Vidarbha's final run highlights his clutch gene.

Shorey's Unbroken Century Streak

From knockouts to this 109 (SR 141.56, unbeaten), Shorey's five straight tons match Jagadeesan's 2022 feat. Built on Aman Mokhade-Yash Rathod 148; his 15 boundaries dismantled Hyderabad. Season stats: crosses 100 five times consecutively, rare in List A (avg 60+ streak). Compares to Prithvi Shaw's early bursts, but Shorey's endurance (77 balls) sets him apart for India A calls.

Vidarbha Title Charge Boosted

Shorey's form catapults Vidarbha towards trophy, second-highest scorer last season. Broader impact: domestic stars like him bridge to IPL/ internationals, challenging selectors amid Gill's rise.
