MUMBAI: Mumbai teenager Pranav Dhanawade
on Tuesday scripted history by becoming the first batsman to notch up a
four-figure score. Pranav scored an unbeaten knock of 1009 which lasted 395
minutes, with 129 fours and 59 sixes in an inter-school tournament in Mumbai.
The 15-year-old, playing for KC Gandhi
Higher Secondary School, reached the score in just 323 deliveries with a strike
rate of 312.38 against Arya Gurukul in the Bhandari Cup inter-school tournament
organised by the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA).
The epic knock ended when his school
declared at 1465, which is also a world record. His school went past Victoria’s
1107 against New South Wales made way back in 1926. Pranav now holds the record
for the highest individual score in all forms of cricket.
