Former India opener Shikhar Dhawan congratulated Mizoram cricketer Chinmay Sutar for his historic performance in the Ranji Trophy 2026-27. Sutar became only the second batsman in the tournament's history to score 400 runs in an innings, following in the footsteps of Bhausaheb Nimbalkar who scored 443 for Maharashtra against Kathiawar in 1948-49.
Dhawan praised the 29-year-old's impressive start to his first-class career, highlighting his 99 on debut and a subsequent unbeaten 400 in his second game. Sutar's innings, which included 46 fours and seven sixes, helped Mizoram declare at 581/9. He narrowly missed a century in his first-class debut against Manipur, scoring 99 in the second innings after being run out.
Sutar's quadruple century puts him second in individual score history in the Ranji Trophy, behind Nimbalkar's 443 not out.
