Narayan Jagadeesan And Sai Sudharshan Break World Record For Highest Partnership In List-A Cricket

In a terrific batting display, Narayan Jagadeesan (277) and Sai Sudharsan (154) broke the record for the highest partnership in List A cricket. The pair scored 416 runs in just 38.2 overs against Arunachal Pradesh during the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy 2022. 

The previous highest List A partnership record was held by Marlon Samuels and Chris Gayle against Zimbabwe in the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup, where they scored 372 runs together for the second wicket.

The previous highest List A opening partnership was between M van Wyk and Cameron Delport who stitched an unbeaten 367 during the Dolphin vs Knights game in 2014. The Tamil Nadu opening pair now holds that record too. 

Tamil Nadu Pair In Red-Hot Form

The pair has been in terrific form this season. In Tamil Nadu’s last 5 games the duo has built partnerships of 416, 151, 276, 233, and 177.  

Winning the toss, Arunachal Pradesh decided to bowl first at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Both batsmen were in red-hot form and gunned out to put on a batting exhibition against a relatively less experienced side. 

Narayan Jagadeesan is currently the top scorer in the Vijay Hazare trophy 2022 with 799 runs in just 6 innings, while Sai Sudharsan is in the second spot with 581 in 6 innings as well. 

Narayan Jagadeesan Breaks World Record

In the breathtaking run-fest in Bengaluru on November 21, Jagadeesan, one of the few names released by Chennai Super Kings ahead of the IPL 2023 mini-auction, contributed to numerous world records.

Narayan Jagadeesan went past Rohit Sharma’s tally of 264 from 2014 (India vs Sri Lanka at the Eden Gardens) in the 41st over. Soon after, he broke the world record held by England batter Ali Brown for the highest score in List A cricket (50-over format) – 268.

In List A cricket, Jagadeesan broke the previous record for the most consecutive hundreds with 5, surpassing Sri Lanka’s Kumar Sangakkara, South Africa’s Alviro Petersen, and Karnataka’s Devdutt Padikkal.
