Twitter world reacts to school boy Dhanawade's record-breaking innings of 1009*

MUMBAI CRICKETERS ARE well known for their insatiable desire to score runs and their ability to create and break world records over the years. From Sachin Tendulkar/Vinod Kambli’s marathon innings in the early 80s to the recent past heroics of Prithvi Shaw’s and Sarfaraz Khan, Mumbai school cricketers and fans thought they had seen it all. But now, another young prodigy in Pranav Dhanawade has shattered all the batting records by becoming the first schoolboy cricketer to score a monumental 1000 runs in junior cricket. 

Representing Smt KC Gandhi School in the HT Bhandari Cup inter-school tournament, the 15-year-old scored a mammoth 1009* and in the process hit 129 boundaries and 59 sixes. Minutes after his heroic display, cricket fans took to twitter to express their delight and admiration for the upcoming sensation.

After three days and a session of non-stop batting, England and SA combined XI lead Pranav Dhanawade by just 48 @tomdaviesE17

Every 2nd person is highlighting how Pranav Dhanawade is the son of an auto driver. That is not critical. Talent doesn't know social class.

I am happy for Pranav Dhanawade, but look at how much Shahid Afridi has achieved in his career and he is just 19 still.
