13-year-old schoolboy unbeaten on 508 runs

In the 178-ball innings, 81 fours and 18 sixes finally scored an unbeaten 508 runs. Yash Chawde, a 13-year-old schoolboy, played an incredible inning in 40-over cricket.
This is the first 500-run innings by an Indian batsman in limited-overs cricket. Yash Chawde, a student of Saraswati School in Maharashtra, played a record-breaking inning in the Mumbai Indians Junior Inter-School Tournament (U-14).

Statistician Mohan Das Menon told TOI that Chawde is the second batsman to score 500 runs in limited-overs cricket after Sri Lanka’s Chirac Sellepurama. Sellepurama played unbeaten innings of 553 runs in Sri Lanka’s Under-15 school cricket in August last year.

“As per the information I have, Chavde is the 10th batsman to score more than 500 runs in all versions of cricket and age-group teams. Of these, five are from India. The other four are Pranab Dhanawade (1009), Priyanshu Moliya (556), Prithvi Shaw (546), and Daddy Havewala (515).
