    Who is Pranav Dhanawade?

    Pranav is a 15-year-old school cricketer who plays for KC Gandhi English High School, Kalyan, near Mumbai. He is the son of an auto-rickshaw driver.

    What did he do?

    Pranav scored 1009 runs not out against Arya Gurukul, Kalyan, in a school match during the U-16 HT Bhandari Trophy Inter-School Cricket Tournament. This is the highest individual score ever in the game’s history at all levels of competitive cricket. Only one other person has scored a sextuple century—Arthur Collins. We will discuss his record below.

    What happened in this match?

    On Day 1 of this game, Arya Gurukul were bowled out for just 31 in 20 overs. In response, Gandhi English High raced to 956-1 by the end of the day. Pranav, with 78 fours and 30 sixes, had moved to a world record 652 not out. His team-mates Akash Singh (173) and Siddhesh Patil (100) also cashed in.

    What happened on Day 2?

    Pranav continued batting at an astonishing pace, becoming the first cricketer ever to score a septuple hundred, an octuplet century, a nonuple century, and finally a decuple century. At lunch, he was batting on 921 off 294 balls. Within an hour after the break, he became the first human to pass the four-figure barrier, off just 323 balls. He hit 59 sixes and 129 fours in all.

    Is Gandhi English High’s score a record?

    Yes. The team declared with their score on 1465, making it the first instance of a cricket team tallying more than 1200 runs in an innings. The earlier record (and still the First Class record) was with Victoria, who had made 1107 against New South Wales way back in 1926.

    Whose record did Pranav break?

    Pranav broke the record set by a 13-year-old Arthur Collins, who had scored 628 runs in a match for Clarke’s House against North Town House way back in 1899. For long, this record was considered unbreakable.

    What did Arthur Collins Do?

    In 1899, 13-year-old Arthur Edward Jeune Collinsbecame a British celebrity when he made 628 runs in an innings in a school game for Clarke’s House against North Town House. The timeless match was played in Bristol in a smallish ground. Collins was dropped on 80, 100, 140, 556 and 612. The innings started on June 22. He remained unbeaten when the team was bowled out for 836 on June 26. In the following days, North Town were bowled out for 87 and 61 with Collins taking 11-63. Great praise was heaped on the teenager and much was expected of him, cricket-wise. However, he met an early end aged 29 when he was killed in combat in France during the First World War.

    Still getting goosebumps when I think back on that innings. Enthaayirunu batting. Laxman 80 odd aayappol aanu njan kandu thudangiyathu. Aa test il undaaya vikaaram pinne orikkelum undaayittilla. Sublime.

    http://www.thecricketmonthly.com/story/953117/laxman-s-kolkata-epic-voted-best-test-performance

    VVS Laxman's batting feat against Australia in Kolkata in 2001 has been voted the greatest Test performance of the last 50 years by a 25-member panel of cricketers, writers, broadcasters, historians and statisticians assembled by the Cricket Monthly.

    Laxman scored 59 and 281 in a match where India trailed by 274 runs, in a series they trailed 0-1, against a team on a record winning streak and widely acknowledged as one of the best to have ever played the game. India went on to win the match and the series.

    In his tribute to Laxman's performance, Shane Warne recalls: "I was bowling in the foot marks and Laxman was hitting the same ball through cover or whipping it through midwicket. It was so hard to bowl then."

    Ricky Ponting remembers that Laxman's "work through the leg side in particular was a source of wonderment to many of us... Ultimately we bowled for near enough to two days at him without even looking like getting him out."

    Zaheer Khan, his room-mate during the series, recalls how Laxman slept on the floor through the match because of a bad back. "Everyone could see that he could not stand straight."

    The Cricket Monthly's "50 from 50" exercise looks at batting, bowling and all-round performances in Tests played between 1966 and 2015.

    Brian Lara has four entries the list of 50, the most by any player. One of those, the nerveless 153 not out versus Australia in Bridgetown in 1999, has been voted No. 4. Ian Botham, with three entries in the 50, has two in the top five: the dazzling all-round shows in the Headingley Ashes Test of 1981 (No. 2) and the Golden Jubilee Test in Bombay the previous year (No. 5).

    Michael Holding's 14 wickets with supreme pace on a batting track at The Oval in 1976 is at No. 3, and performances byRichard Hadlee, Bob Massie, Muttiah Muralitharan, Graham Gooch and Garry Sobers round out the top 10.

    West Indian players have as many as 14 entries in the 50, the highest by any team. These include the two earliest performances on the list: Sobers at Lord's and Headingley from the 1966 series in England. The most recent performance is Kevin Pietersen's 186 in Mumbai in 2012.

    The panel, drawn from all Test-playing nations, includes Greg Chappell, John Wright, Tony Cozier, Mark Nicholas, Sanjay Manjrekar, Mike Selvey, Ramiz Raja, Scyld Berry, Osman Samiuddin and Gideon Haigh.
