Take a bow.

Didn't the other team score like 30 runs?

Woah!

Pranav Dhanawade, Mumbai School Cricketer Re-Writes Record Books - Cricket News

Representing KC Gandhi School, Kalyan, Dhanawade smashed Arya Gurukul School bowlers all over the park to surpass Arthur Collins' score of 628 not out in 1899 . Dhanawade's majestic knock, that was studded with 78 fours and 30 sixes, helped his side reach 956 for one at the close of play on Monday. He was unbeaten on 652.

Twitter goes wild as Pranav Dhanawade scores 1000

 

[harsh.ag]

124 fours and 59 sixes. He was on 921 in 294 balls.

Wonder what the nervous 900s were like

Move over Sachin

 

[Pratters]

Strike rate of 312 is terrific for 100 runs. For 1000 it's mind boggling.

 

[Gnske]

And I struggle to 2 off 36 thanks to a blind umpire not seeing the leg-byes.

Bloke must have been knackered.

 

[Spikey]

bet he can't play the short ball

 

[vcs]

Would never score a run on a green pitch facing Marshall, Holding, Lillee and Ambrose without a helmet. Overrated subcontinent FTB.

 

[Crazy Sam]

still not as good as Phil Hughes in International Cricket Captain.

Wonder what RP Singh's final figures were.

[Pratters]

still not as good as Phil Hughes in International Cricket Captain.

What's the highest recorded score in video games, I wonder.

At the end of play on day one of the two-day match, Dhanawade freely admitted he was targeting a world-first score of 1000.

“Why not? I am confident that I can do it,” Pranav said, according to DNA India.

“I will definitely try to score 1,000 runs as I am just 350 away. If I can score 600 runs in two sessions, I am confident of scoring 350 in one session.”


Kid is a boss.

That's better than I ever did in backyard cricket, even with a 30m straight boundary.

 

[Burner]

"just" 350 away

 

[Daemon]

Haven't even made 1009 career runs

But when would Steve Smith have declared?
