Cricket: Tamil Nadu (506), Jagadeesan (277) break world records; see full list of records
Tamil Nadu and N Jagadeesan set world records in a Vijay Hazare Trophy match against Arunachal Pradesh at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Monday (November 21).
There were several world records as wicketkeeper-batsman Jagadeesan and his opening partner Sai Sudharsan toyed with the Arunachal Pradesh bowling attack after Tamil Nadu was asked to bat first.

Tamil Nadu became the first team in List A men’s cricket history to score 500-plus runs. On Monday, Tamil Nadu amassed a mammoth 506/2 in 50 overs. Tamil Nadu broke England’s record of 498/4 against the Netherlands set earlier this year.
The previous highest List A total in India was 457/4 by Mumbai against Puducherry in Jaipur in 2021.
Right-handed batsman Jagadeesan smashed a world record List A (50-over cricket) score of 277 off 141 balls with 25 fours and 15 sixes. This is the highest-ever individual score in List A men’s cricket, surpassing the previous best of 268 by Surrey’s Alistair Brown against Glamorgan in 2002.
The Indian record for the highest List A score of 264 by Rohit Sharma in an ODI against Sri Lanka was also obliterated in the process.
This is also the best List A score (both men and women combined) eclipsing 271 not out by Sripali Weerakkody (Kandyan Ladies Cricket Club) which was achieved against Pushpadana Ladies in 2007 in Sri Lanka Women’s One-Day tournament.

With today’s knock, 26-year-old Jagadeesan also became the first batsman to score five consecutive hundreds in List A cricket. All those centuries have come in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy. His scores are 114 not out (against Andhra), 107 (versus Chhattisgarh), 168 (vs Goa), 128 (vs Haryana) and 277 (vs Arunachal Pradesh).
He had on Saturday hit a fourth straight hundred to join Kumar Sangakkara, Alviro Petersen and Devdutt Padikkal to record four consecutive hundreds in List A cricket.
Jagadeesan could have easily gone on to score a triple hundred as he was dismissed in the 42 over.
The duo of Jagadeesan and Sai Sudharsan (154, 102 balls, 19 fours, 2 sixes) put on 416 runs for the first wicket, which is also a world record in the format.
Jagadeesan was recently released by Chennai Super Kings (CSK) ahead of the IPL 2023 auction next month.
