Fifteen-year-old Pranav Dhanawade is the toast of the cricketing world after becoming the first batsman ever in the history of the game to score a thousand runs in an innings.
The student of K C Gandhi English High School, who amassed 652 runs on Monday , went on to pile up an unbeaten 1,009 on Tuesday as his school reached 1,465 runs for three wickets and registered a massive 1,362-run victory over Arya Gurukul in the Thane district Bhandari Trophy Under-16 interschool cricket tournament match at Wailay Colony Ground, Kalyan.
The highest individual score prior to Pranav’s feat was 628 by AEJ Collins in 1899. The highest score in schools cricket belonged to Prithvi Shaw, who scored 546 runs for Rizvi Springfield in the Harris Shield tournament in 2013.
