Unsure if this is correct or not, but I believe the players with the most consecutive series with a century are Bradman (11) and most with a 5’fer Barnes (9) who hit these milestones every series.

Some others I noticed (I’m sure I missed many, I didn’t really check that many bowlers)

Gavaskar (10), Tendulkar (8)
Murali (7), Hadlee (7)
