Shorey's run to achieve this feat began in the quarter-final of the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024/25, when Vidarbha faced Rajasthan, and he scored 118* (131) in a successful run-chase of 292 runs. 

He scored another well-made 114 (120) against Maharashtra to help his team to 380/3 first innings total in the semi-final and backed it up with 110 (111) in the final against Karnataka, while chasing 349. While his team lost the final, he finished with 494 runs in 8 innings of the season.

He will now stand a chance to stay at the top all alone when Vidarbha face Jammu and Kashmir on December 29.
