Pranav Dhanawade, a Mumbai Cricketer, has become the first batsman to score 1000-plus runs in an innings in any form of cricket. Batting against Arya Gurukul School in a Bhandari Cup match, Pranav reached 1000 runs in just 323 balls. The tournament is an under-16 inter-school event organised by the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) mainly for the benefit of suburban schools.

Pranav’s epic knock, which lasted 395 minutes, included a staggering 59 sixes and 129 fours. His team soon declared the innings at 1465/3, which is also a world record, with Pranav remaining at unbeaten 1009, while the opposition side were bundled out for 31 on Monday. His school went past Victoria’s 1107 against New South Wales made way back in 1926.

The 15-year-old student of KC Gandhi High School, Kalyan has broken a 116-old cricketing record after amassing unbeaten 652 on Monday thus taking over the mantle of ‘highest individual score’ (including minor cricket) from AEJ Collins.
