Mumbai school cricketer Pranav Dhanawade smashed the record books today when he became the first batsman to score 1000 runs in an innings for KC Gandhi School against Arya Gurukul during the H.T. Bhandari Cup inter-school cricket tournament organised by the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA).
KC Gandhi School finally declared with their score on 1465 as Dhanawade remained unbeaten on 1009 off 323 balls (395 minutes) at a strike-rate of 312.38. His innings was studded with 59 sixes and 129 fours. Fabulous strokeplay was witnessed by the handful of spectators, who marked the occasion.
He also beat the record score of 628 not out by AEJ Collins in a school match at Clifton College in 1899 as the highest recorded individual score in organised cricket anywhere in the world. Ironically, Collins had never played any first-class cricket and had been killed in the first World War.
Dhanawade became the fourth Indian to score 500 or more runs in a single innings after DR Havewalla (515 for Bombay, Baroda and Central India Railways against St Xavier’s in 1953), Chaman Lal (502 not out for Mahendra College, Patiala against Government College, Rupar in 1956-57) and Prithvi Shaw (546 for Rizvi Springfield against Francis D’Assisi in a Harris Shield game in 2013-14).
Pranav is certain to make the U-16 Mumbai squad, let’s check out how the world of Twitter reacted to the massive knock:
Congrats #PranavDhanawade on being the first ever to score 1000 runs in an innings. Well done and work hard. You need to scale new peaks!
