DTVHINDIDrona Desai: This 18-year-old boy from Gujarat registered his name in the record books by scoring 498 runs in a single innings
Dron Desai played a marathon inning of 498 runs while playing for St. Xavier’s School in the Under-19 school level cricket tournament. Drona Desai (Source X) Who is Drona Desai: 18-year-old Dron Desai of Ahmedabad is in the headlines these days. This young cricketer has done such feats that no cricket fan can stop himself from praising him. Dron Desai played a marathon innings of 498 runs while playing for St. Xavier’s School in the Under-19 school level cricket tournament. With this brilliant innings, he has attracted the attention of many great players. On the basis of this brilliant innings, he led his team to victory by 712 runs. Dron Desai, a student of St. Xavier’s Loyola Hall, has entered the list of players with the highest individual score in inter-school cricket in Gujarat with this innings. He played this brilliant innings of 498 runs in the Diwan Ballubhai Cup (under-19 age group) against JL English School. 498 runs scored in 320 balls Desai played a memorable innings of 498 runs with the help of 86 fours and 7 sixes in 320 balls. Desai’s score of 498 runs is the third highest score in India. The highest score was made by Pranav Dhanawade in 2016, who scored an unbeaten 1009* in the Bhandari Cup inter-school cricket tournament. After this, Prithvi Shaw scored 546 runs in the Harris Shield in 2013. It is disappointing not to reach the 500 run mark Desai was unaware of his 498 runs and was disappointed at missing the 500-run mark by two runs. He dedicated this innings to his coach Jai Prakash Patel, under whose guidance he has been training since the age of seven. He said, “I am disappointed that I missed 500 runs by 2 runs, but overall I am very happy. I dedicate this innings to Jai Prakash Patel sir, who made me understand the value of my wicket from the very beginning. I hit 86 fours and only 7 sixes in my innings, and most of the fours were ground shots. Till the age of 14, he told me to play only ground shots.” Now it remains to be seen how much Dron Desai can make use of his performance and whether he can make it to the state teams and senior teams, like former Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Parthiv Patel and Gujarat opening batsman Priyank Panchal did.
“We have to adopt such an attitude that who cares…”, Harry Brook’s statement after scoring a century against Australia
You have to adopt a fearless attitude and dominate the bowlers – Harry Brook Harry Brook (Photo Source: Getty Images) The England cricket team registered a spectacular victory by 46 runs (DLS rule) in the third ODI against Australia. Australia batted first in the match and scored 304 runs for the loss of 7 wickets. In response, while chasing the target, host England lost two wickets for a score of 11. Then captain Harry Brook and Will Jacks brought the team back by making a strong partnership of 155 runs. Harry Brook played an unbeaten innings of 110 runs in 94 balls with the help of 13 fours and 2 sixes. Due to Captain Brook, England had scored 254 runs in 37.4 overs, then they had to score 61 runs in 74 balls to win. But then the match could not start due to rain and England won the match. After a brilliant innings in the third ODI against Australia, Harry Brook has given a big statement. You have to adopt a fearless attitude – Harry Brook Before the third ODI, Harry Brooke said, “Who cares if you get out on the boundary or anywhere in the field” This comment of Brook went viral and cricket pundits started questioning him. After the match, Harry Brook said that people took his comment in the wrong way. He just wanted to play fearlessly and did not want to think much about other things. According to BBC, Harry Brooke said after the third ODI, People took it a bit the wrong way. You have to go out there and play fearlessly and almost have an attitude of who cares. It’s not like who cares if we lose. We still want to win but you don’t want to go out there and play with the fear of getting out. We have seen so many times in Test environments how people are getting out. You have to have a fearless attitude and dominate the bowlers. Harry Brook has been facing criticism for his poor batting for some time now. He used to get a good start but was unable to make the innings big. Speaking further, Brook said, I think this summer I’ve been playing off and on, scoring a lot of 30s and 40s. I think I’m back in good shape again, playing the ball late and keeping my head steady.
IND vs BAN: “Bowling always comes first for me…”, Ashwin’s statement after scoring a century and taking 6 wickets in the Chennai Test

He said that batting comes naturally to him and even though he has struggled at times, he enjoys it. I think like most bowlers: Ravichandran Ashwin After the victory in the first Test match against Bangladesh, Ravichandran Ashwin said, The innings on Day 1 was quite special, I didn’t realise it until Day 2. I am glad that I took a couple of wickets today as well. I make my living by bowling, so bowling always comes first. I think like a bowler most of the time, but when I go out on the field with the bat in my hand, I have tried to think like a batsman. Batting is something that comes naturally, but I still struggle with letting my thoughts get ahead of me sometimes. I have tried to manage it. Over the last few years, I have managed to separate the two, but it is a process. The last match of the two-match Test series between India and Bangladesh will be played in Kanpur from October 27.

All the batsmen from the team played their role very well. Now the fourth day of the game is going to be important for both the teams. The most important thing for India B is that captain Abhimanyu Easwaran will have to score as many runs as possible on the fourth day of the game so that he can put pressure on India C and gain control in this match. At the same time, India C team will look to take wickets as soon as possible. Abhimanyu Easwaran’s unbeaten 143 kept India B in the game, but they still trail by 216 runs with the final day left to play in Anantapur 🇮🇳🏏#AbhimanyuEaswaran #DuleepTrophy #Sportskeeda #INDBvINDC pic.twitter.com/SARQuwtUsK — Sportskeeda (@Sportskeeda) September 14, 2024 India B 309/7 Stumps on Day 3 in First innings.

In this match, India B batsmen had a steady start. The top order batsmen got a good start but they could not convert it into a big innings. After this, Rishabh Pant, who was the focus of all the people, who came to bat in the middle order, could not do anything special and returned to the pavilion cheaply. Pant was sent back to the pavilion by Akashdeep. What a Catch!

As soon as he came, he hit a four on the first ball and it seemed that he would play a big innings today. But in an attempt to score runs quickly, he played a big shot and was out after scoring 7 runs. Rishabh Pant played a big shot on the ball of Akash Deep but he could not time it properly and mid-off Shubman Gill took a brilliant catch.

In such a situation, by playing a good innings in the Duleep Trophy, he has a chance to return to the Indian team through the Test series against Bangladesh. But his poor performance in this match may affect his selection.
