Meet Pranav Dhanawde - the kid who scored 1009 runs in one innings ! 1/6/2016 1:07:43 AM Agencies Mumbai, Jan 5 : His mother Mohini Prashant Dhanavde was in tears when Pranav scored 1000. "I would have never imagined that my son would make a world record. I remember scolding him so that he would concentrate on his studies more than cricket," she said. "My next goal is to be selected for under-19," says 15-year-old Pranav Dhanawde who created a world record by scoring 1009 runs in 323 balls. The match was held between KC Gandhi School and Arya Gurukul School in which the later team scored 52/9 in 14.5 overs and KC Gandhi scored 1465/3 wickets in 94 overs. The match was part of the under-16 Bhandari Trophy Inter-School Tournament organised by Mumbai Cricket Academy. On the first day, Pranav scored 652 not out in 199 balls and played for 5 hours on Kalyan's Wayle Nagar's Union Cricket Academy. His mother Mohini Prashant Dhanawde was in tears when Pranav scored 1000. "I would have never imagined that my son would make a world record. I remember scolding him so that he would concentrate on his studies more than cricket," she said. Pranav's father Prashant Dhanawde who is an auto driver could not contain his joy. "Although I drive an auto, I have never stopped my son from achieving success. Last night when he broke world record by scoring 652, he told me that next day he will score 1000 and he did it," said Prashant. "I am fortunate to have parents who have understood my dream and supported me. Yesterday, I had not think about making a world record but as I completed 500 runs, I became more confident. Now, I want to get selected for under-19 team," said Paranav Dhanavde. Pranav's coach Harish Sharma said: "He is always focussed and a hard-hitting batsman. He was on 6th position but I decided to make him the opening batsmen and he didn't prove me wrong." "Congrats Pranav Dhanawade on being the first ever to score 1000 runs in an innings. Well done and work hard. You need to scale new peaks!" tweeted Sachin Tendulkar. Dhanawade, who opened the innings against Arya Gurukul School, had gone past Arthur Collins' 628 not out, the previous highest in minor cricket scored in 1899 in England, on Monday. The son of an autorickshaw driver, Dhanawade had also gone past the highest individual score by an Indian in minor cricket, a record previously held by Prithvi Shaw who scored 546 in the Harris Shield in 2013-14.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
