Chinmay Sutar Scored 400 off 517 Balls

Sutar's historic innings places him alongside the legendary Bhausaheb Babasaheb Nimbalkar, who famously scored 443 not out for Maharashtra against Kathiawar in the 1948-49 season. It also makes Sutar the 10th player in the history of first-class cricket globally to register a score of 400 or more, marking the 12th instance of such a feat.

The Marathon Knock

Resuming his innings on 181 on the second day of the fixture, Sutar displayed immense concentration and stamina, battling for 517 deliveries to reach his quadruple century. His innings was a masterclass of controlled aggression, featuring 46 boundaries and seven towering sixes. Such was his dominance that after Sutar reached his milestone, Mizoram declared their innings at a commanding 581 for 9 wickets.

Crucially, Sutar found an unlikely but resolute partner in No. 11 Lalrempuia Chhakchhuak, who contributed an unbeaten 14 runs off 76 balls. Their last-wicket partnership defied the Nagaland bowlers, yielding an astounding 189 runs and allowing Sutar to continue his record-breaking charge. The next best score for Mizoram in the innings was 69 by Jehu Anderson, further highlighting Sutar's incredible individual performance. Ranji Trophy 2026-27: Priyansh Arya Scores Maiden First-Class Hundred for Delhi Against Gujarat.
