2016: Pranav Dhanawade’s record

Pranav Dhanawade, a 15-yearold student of KC Gandhi High School, Kalyan has broken a century-old cricketing record after amassing a staggering unbeaten 652 against Arya Gurukul School in an Bhandari Cup match on Monday . The tournament is an under-16 inter-school event organised by the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) mainly for the benefit of suburban schools. His school, KC Gandhi finished Day One of the two-day match at a mammoth 9561.

Pranav's epic knock which, incredibly , came off just 199 balls and included an eye-popping 72 fours and 28 sixes, saw him take over the mantle of `highest individual score' (including minor cricket) from AEJ Collins. Collins had held the record since 1899 when he struck an un beaten 628 for Clark House against North Town House in UK. In the course of his multiple record-breaking feat, Pranav also surpassed Prithvi Shaw's marathon 546 scored two years ago in a Harris Shield tie, an innings that had previously been the highest individual score in any form of cricket in India. His father Prashant, an auto rickshaw driver
