Tamil Nadu opener N Jagadeesan broke the world record and became the first player to score five consecutive centuries, the first by an Indian.
Jagadeesan achieved the feat during the round six group stage match of the Vijay Hazare Trophy against Arunachal Pradesh with a 77-ball 100 at the M. Chinnaswamy stadium in Bangalore.
He is also the sixth batter to hit a double ton in Vijay Hazare Trophy. Jagadeesan (228 n.o) now also holds the record for the highest ever score in history of Vijay Hazare Trophy.
Prior to this, this record among Indians was in the name of Devdutt Padikkal who had set the record with four back-to-back centuries.
