Narayan Jagadeesan has equalled Virat Kohli’s record of four centuries in a single edition of the Vijay Hazare Trophy (VHT). The Tamil Nadu batter scored 128 runs in 123 balls to help his team reach a challenging score of 285 in 50 overs.
The 26-year-old and his opening partner, Sai Sudharsan, who scored a half-century, put on a 151-run partnership for the first wicket. In response, Haryana could only manage 133 runs for the loss of 10 wickets, as Tamil Nadu comprehensively defeated Haryana by 151 runs.
India’s star batsman Virat Kohli was the top scorer with a total of 534 runs and four centuries (102, 119*, 124, 114) in the 2008-09 season. The 26-year-old has been in fantastic form and is currently leading the scoring charts at the Vijay Hazare Trophy, joining the former India captain on a list that also includes Ruturaj Gaikwad, Prithvi Shaw, and Devdutt Padikkal.
