Dhruv Shorey Equals List A Record With Fifth Successive Century in Vijay Hazare Trophy

His 109 not out completed a five-match scoring streak across two Vijay Hazare seasons, powering Vidarbha to an 89-run win over Hyderabad.

Overview

  • Batting at No. 3 in Rajkot, Shorey struck an unbeaten 109 off 77 balls with nine fours and six sixes against Hyderabad.
  • Vidarbha posted 365 for 5 and bowled out Hyderabad for 276, sealing their first win of the season by 89 runs.
  • Shorey’s run of five straight hundreds began with centuries in last season’s Vijay Hazare quarter-final, semi-final and final, and continued with a 136 against Bengal in this campaign’s opener.
  • A 148-run stand from openers Aman Mokhade (82) and Yash Rathod (68) set the platform before Shorey added 140 for the third wicket with Samarth R (63).
  • The streak ties N. Jagadeesan’s 2022–23 benchmark that featured a List A record 277, while reports differ on Shorey’s career tally for this knock, citing either eight or nine hundreds.
