He's in the news once again, this time because of a story involving him and India's most prolific run-scorer, Sachin Tendulkar. Dhanawade became a sensation after playing an unbeaten knock of 1,009 from 323 balls, for K. C. Gandhi High School of the Kalyan administrative district. The youngster broke the 116-year-old record of 628 not out, set by the English schoolboy A. E. J. Collins in 1899. In a recent interview with Cricket Country, Pranav revealed that after his jaw-dropping knock, Sachin Tendulkar invited him to his house and also gifted him one of his bats. After all, he once scored an unbeaten 329 for his school while stitching a mammoth 664-run partnership with Vinod Kambli.
