Pranav Prashant Dhanawade (born 13 May 2000) is an Indian cricketer from Kalyan, Maharashtra who holds the world record for the most runs scored in one innings. Stretching across two days on 4 and 5 January 2016, he became the first person to score more than 1,000 runs in one innings in an officially recognised match. Dhanawade scored 1,009 not out from 327 balls for K. C. Gandhi High School of the Kalyan administrative district, breaking the 116-year-old record of 628 not out set by English schoolboy A. E. J. Collins in 1899.[2][3][4]
On day two of their first innings, with only 5 of 11 players having batted, the K. C. Gandhi team declared on 1,465/3, also a world record. The match was one-sided, with the opposition, Arya Gurukul School, only scoring 31 runs in their first innings and 52 in their second.[5]
Record innings
The two-day cricket match between K. C. Gandhi High School and Arya Gurukul School was part of the Bhandari Cup, an under-16 inter-school tournament recognised by the Mumbai Cricket Association.[4] Dhanawade scored 1,009 runs in an innings that lasted 6 hours and 36 minutes, and included 59 sixes and 129 fours at a strike-rate of 308.56.[2] The 15-year-old school student broke a 116-year-old cricketing record, beating the previous highest individual score (including minor cricket) by A. E. J. Collins. Collins had held the record since 1899, when he scored 628 runs for Clarke House against North Town House at Clifton College, England. [6]
Arya Gurukul scored 31 runs in their first innings, bowled out after facing just 20 overs.
Yogesh Jagtap, the coach of Arya Gurukul, revealed after the match that they had struggled to enter the competition with their main cricket team because of their exams, and therefore his side consistent mostly of 12-year-old students who were selected to play against 15-year-old students. Jagtap said they had also entered the tournament only so they would not be denied future entry. He estimated there were 21 dropped
Despite the scoreline, Jagtap thought the match was a positive experience for his team and praised Dhanawade's shot selection during his innings.[9] K.C. Gandhi's coach was criticised by reporter Shraishth Jain for not retiring any batsmen or declaring the innings earlier.[11] The accomplishment has led to further suggestions of compulsory retirements for batsmen upon reaching a certain score.[12]
