Gujarat opener Samit Gohel ensured his team's safe passage into the semi-finals of the Ranji Trophy after smashing the world record for most number of runs scored by an opener while carrying his bat right through the innings in first-class cricket.
Samit Gohel stayed unbeaten on 359 as Gujarat notched up 641 in their second innings against Odisha in the Ranji Trophy QF's on Tuesday Dec 27,2016
Having already taken the first innings lead, Gujarat is set to sail into the last 4 with only half a day's play left.
Samit Gohel's marathon unbeaten knock came in 723 deliveries. The batsman hit 45 boundaries and a maximum during his stay at the crease. It has been a great season for Gujarat as Gohel's opening partner Priyank Panchal continues to lead the run scorers' chart in Ranji Trophy this season
Samit Gohel went past Bobby Abel’s score of 357 that he made for Surrey against Somerset at the Oval in 1899.
