Mizoram batsman Chinmay Sutar etched his name into Indian cricket history by becoming only the second batter ever to score 400 runs in a single Ranji Trophy innings, according to reporting by Hindustan Times.
The extraordinary milestone represents one of the most prolific batting achievements in the history of Indian domestic first-class cricket. Reaching the quadruple century places Sutar in historically rare company, breaking boundaries in a championship that dates back to the 1934–35 season.
Joining an Elite Domestic Record
Prior to Sutar's performance, only one other batter had crossed the 400-run threshold in the long history of the tournament. The tournament's highest individual score remains held by Bhausaheb Nimbalkar, who famously scored an unbeaten 443 for Maharashtra against Kathiawar in December 1948.
Sutar's marathon effort to reach the 400-run landmark marks the first time in modern Indian domestic competition that a batsman has mounted such an enormous individual total. His innings provided a massive showcase for Mizoram, a side competing in the domestic circuit seeking to make an impact on the national stage against seasoned regional associations.
Landmark Moment for Mizoram Cricket
The historic knock represents a transformative milestone for the Mizoram state cricket setup. While teams in the lower and plate divisions of the domestic circuit have often faced steep learning curves against established cricket boards, individual displays of this caliber demonstrate the emerging talent spread across regional squads.
As recorded by Hindustan Times, Sutar’s quadruple century stands as a defining statistical marker in Indian red-ball competition. The innings places him permanently in the record books, setting a benchmark for future generations of batters across the country.
