During the Mumbai Indians’ Junior Inter-School (Under-14) cricket tournament, 13-year-old Yash Chawde, playing for Saraswati Vidyalaya, made headlines with his unbeaten 508 against Siddheshwar Vidyalaya at the Jhulelal Institute of Technology ground in Nagpur. With this massive score to his name, Yash became the highest individual-scorer in the limited-overs format in inter-school cricket tournaments across India. During his record-breaking outing, the right-handed Yash slammed 81 fours and 18 sixes in his 178-ball innings on Friday. Batting alongside Tilak Wakode, who scored 127 off 97 balls, the pair stitched 714 for the first wicket in 40 overs, which is a record in itself.

As per the noted statistician, Mohandas Menon, the 13-year-old Yash Chawde is only the second batter after Sri Lanka's Chirath Selleperuma to register 500 plus runs in limited-overs cricket. In August 2022, Selleperuma scored 553 in an Under-15 inter-school tournament Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka, Mohandas told Times of India (TOI).

"According to my records, Chawde is only the 10th batter to make a score of 500+ across all formats and age groups. Out of 10, five batters in the list are Indians. They are Pranav Dhanawade (1009*), Priyanshu Moliya (556*), Prithvi Shaw (546), Dady Havewala (515) and Yash Chawde (508*)," said Menon.

Meanwhile, cricket was never Yash’s first love. While growing up or up until three years back, he was doing exceptionally well in skating in state and national tournaments across the country. Worried about his future in skating, Yash’s father, Shravan, who is a mid-day meal contractor, decided to put Yash into cricket when he was 11 – only to see his son prosper one day and make his father proud.

As per Ravi Kulkarni, who is the supervisor of Saraswati Vidyalaya, Yash has the talent to achieve great heights in cricket and replicate Faiz Faizal’s record in First-Class cricket – who also scored 280 plus playing for Saraswati Vidyalaya in VCA Under-14 inter-school tournament against Rajendra High School in the past.

"Faiz went on to play for India and is one of the leading batters in First Class cricket. Yash has it in him to replicate what Faiz has achieved," said Ravi Kulkarni.

Kulkarni adds Yash is a disciplined kid and has a good cricketing sense. He adds when Yash takes his stance, his body language on the field makes him stand out among others. He also calls him a 'lambey race ka ghoda'.

"He is disciplined and has good cricketing acumen. When he stands on the field, his body language makes him stand out. When he bats, it looks like he is 'lambey race ka ghoda'," said Kulkarni.

This season for Saraswati Vidyalaya in the Under-16 VCA tournament, Yash has looked in supreme touch, having amassed 1000 plus runs including two hundreds.

What a game in Nagpur! 
 
India edge to victory by eight runs, with Australia bowled out for 242. Marcus Stoinis (52) threatened to take the game away from the home side, but some strong bowling at the death sees India go 2-0 up. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/INDvAUS?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#INDvAUS</a> SCORECARD ➡️ <a href="https://t.co/pNkv2db4Mg">https://t.co/pNkv2db4Mg</a> <a href="https://t.co/236W0cyXDK">pic.twitter.com/236W0cyXDK</a>

The Australians needed 11 runs from the last over with two wickets in hand but Shankar, playing only his sixth ODI, kept his nerves to pick a wicket off his first and third balls in the day-night game in Nagpur.

Skipper Virat Kohli, who struck 116 in India's modest total of 250, asked Shankar to bowl the final over ahead of the regular Kuldeep Yadav, and he was rewarded amply for his move.

The Aussies were bowled out for 242 off 40.3 overs with Marcus Stoinis top-scoring with 52. &nbsp;

It was the 500th win in one-day internationals for India.

The visitors were off to a steady start with openers Aaron Finch (37) and Usman Khawaja (38) putting on 83 runs before being dismissed in successive overs.

Glenn Maxwell (18) saw his stumps being uprooted after a ball from Kuldeep Yadav sneaked from under his bat.

But it was the run-out of Peter Handscomb who looked set for a big score that hurt the visitors hard.

Handscomb, who made 48 off 59 balls, tried to take a risky single but Ravindra Jadeja made no mistake in hitting the stumps.

A double-strike by Jasprit Bumrah (2-29) turned the game around for the Indians who ensured there was no let-up in the pressure on the visitors.

Earlier Kohli smashed his 40th century on a challenging pitch that seemed to aid bowlers.

Kohli hit 10 fours in his 120-ball knock and held anchor after Australian captain &nbsp;Finch had elected to bat.

The Indians got off to a rocky start, losing openers Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan (21) early in the innings.

Sharma (0) top-edged off Adam Zampa and Dhawan (21) was given out leg before wicket after Australia's appeal was upheld on review.

India had no such luck as Ambati Rayudu's decision to appeal against the on-field umpire's lbw decision was turned down, the hosts reduced to a shaky 75-3.

Kohli, the world's top-ranked ODI batsman, went for the counter-attack, hitting two fours off the last two balls of the 18th over by Zampa to underline his top form.

The 30-year-old skipper timed his innings perfectly, stitching a 81-run partnership with Shankar, who impressed during his 41-ball 46 before being run out by Zampa.

Zampa struck again soon after, dismissing Kedar Jadhav (11) and Mahendra Singh Dhoni (0) off successive balls to stun the home crowd into silence.

But Kohli looked unfettered at the other end, reaching his 40th ODI century with a four over backward point.&nbsp;

The flamboyant captain removed his helmet and raised his bat to acknowledge the applause from the crowd and the dressing room.

Kohli's innings ended when he holed a simple catch to Stoinis off Pat Cummins who picked up four late wickets.
