Tamil Nadu opener N Jagadeesan on Monday broke a host of records as he became the first ever cricketer in history to record five List A centuries in a row. Playing in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy 2022, Jagadeesan continued his surreal form against Arunachal Pradesh as he first blasted a 77-ball century and then went on to set a new record for the highest ever individual score in List A history.
After scoring the joint-fastest double-century in the format (off 114 deliveries), the fastest by an Indian cricketer, he went on to clatter a mammoth 277 off 141 deliveries during a stunning assault wherein he scored 25 fours and 15 sixes.
He came agonisingly close to becoming the first player in history to score a triple-century in a one-day game but was dismissed in the 42nd over. However, by then, the 26-year-old had set a new record for the highest ever score in List A history.
