N Jagadeesan achieves historic feats in men's List A cricket with fifth successive ton in Vijay Hazare Trophy

Former Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Tamil Nadu batter N Jagadeesan has been in superb form in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy. The right-handed opener slammed his fifth successive ton in the premier tournament during his state's face-off versus Arunachal Pradesh on Monday (November 21). Jagadeesan, who has had scores of5 (6), 114* (112), 107 (113), 168 (140), and 128 (123), before he went on a rampage and slammed a breathtaking 141-ball 277. By virtue of his latest knock, Jagadeesan has become the first cricketer to hit five straight tons (most by any in an edition of the premier tournament) and also record the highest individual score in List A cricket.

After Arunachal opted to bowl first, they were in for a leather hunt as Jagadeesan-Sai Sudharsan (154) stitched a memorable 416-run opening stand before the former lost his partner but his swift acceleration and unbeaten cameos from Baba Aparajith-Inderjith took Tamil Nadu to a mammoth 506 for 2 in 50 overs, becoming the first team to score 500-plustotal in men's List-A cricket.

In addition, Jagadeesan -- whose 277 was laced with 25 fours and 15 sixes at a strike rate of196.45 -- slammed the fastest List-A double ton. Here are some of the records broken during the first half of the Tamil Nadu-Arunachal Pradesh encounter, at the iconicM.Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru:
