This is a name which definitely strikes a chord for many Indian fans. A few years ago, Pranav Dhanwade registered the highest individual score in recognized cricket history, becoming the only individual to have scored more than 1000 runs in an innings. The youngster remained away from the limelight since then.

Dhanwade’s KC Gandhi English School was taking on Arya Gurukul in a Bhandari Cup game in Mumbai, where Arya Gurukul were bowled out for 31 runs in 17 overs. In reply, KC Gandhi school hammered 1465 runs for the loss of 3 wickets at 15.58 runs an over. Dhanwade remained unbeaten on 1009 off 327 balls with Aakash Singh and Siddesh Patil scoring centuries.

In reply, 8 batsmen from Arya Gurukul were dismissed for a duck as they could muster only 52 runs in 14.5 overs. KC Gandhi school won by an innings and 1382 runs, a pretty eye-popping result in any cricket game we have witnessed.
