Tamil Nadu opener Narayan Jagadeesan shattered a flurry of records in the Vijay Hazare Trophy fixture against Arunachal Pradesh. Jagadeesan now has the highest individual score in List A cricket, having slammed a 141-ball 277. He broke the 20-year-old record of Alistair Duncan Brown.
TN openers Sai Sudharsan and Jagadeesan were all guns blazing after AP elected to field. The duo shared a 416-run stand before the former departed. Jagadeesan then became the sixth batter to score a double-ton in Vijay Hazare Trophy.
Jagadeesan's 277 is also the highest score in overall List A cricket (men or women). Sripali Weerakkody had slammed an unbeaten 271 against Pushpadana Ladies in the 2007 Sri Lanka Women's One-Day tournament.
Jagadeesan completed his double-century in 114 balls, the joint-fastest in List A cricket. He equaled Travis Head's record, who took as many balls for his double-ton against Queensland in the 2021 Marsh One-Day Cup.
Jagadeesan slammed his fifth consecutive List A century, the first-ever batter to do so. He surpassed Sri Lankan legend Kumar Sangakkara, who smashed four consecutive centuries in 2014-15. Alviro Petersen (2015/16) and Devdutt Padikkal (2020/21) also attained this feat.
Jagadeesan smashed 15 sixes, the most by a batter in a Vijay Hazare Trophy innings. He broke the record of Yashasvi Jaiswal (12 against Jharkhand in the 2019/20 season). TN are the first team to score 500-plus runs in men's List A cricket (506/2).
