Mumbai's Pranav Dhanawade scores 1,009* in 323 balls
Mumbai teenager Pranav Dhanawade Tuesday Jan 05,2016 scripted history by becoming the
first batsman ever to notch up a four-figure score by smashing an
unbeaten knock of 1009 in an inter-school tournament
The 15-year-old, playing for KC Gandhi Higher Secondary School, reached
the gigantic score in just 323 deliveries with a jaw-dropping strike
rate of 312.38 in the game against Arya Gurukul in the Bhandari Cup
inter—school tournament organised by the Mumbai Cricket Association
(MCA).
In the course of his awe—inspiring innings, which lasted 395 minutes, Dhanawade smashed a whopping 129 fours and 59 sixes.
The epic knock ended when his school declared at 1,465, which is also a
world record. His school went past Victoria’s 1,107 against New South
Wales made way back in 1926.
Pranav now holds the record for the highest individual score in any form
of cricket, bettering AEJ Collins’ 628 not out for Clark’s House
against North Town in 1899 in the UK.
Pranav Dhanawade was unbeaten at 652 at stumps yesterday.
