Yashvardhan Dalal of Haryana Smashes 428 Runs, Sets New Record in CK Nayudu Trophy

Haryana opener Yashvardhan Dalal smashed a historic unbeaten 428 against Mumbai in the Under-23 CK Nayudu Trophy match on Saturday, making him the first player to achieve this milestone in the tournament's history. The CK Nayudu Trophy has been played since the 1973-74 season, and Dalal's incredible innings will surely be remembered for years to come.

Dalal broke Sameer Rizvi's record for the highest score in the competition - the Uttar Pradesh batter had scored 312 in just 266 balls against Saurashtra last season.

Mumbai won the toss and decided to bowl first after winning the toss at the Gurugram Cricket Ground in Haryana's Sultanpur. On the back of Dalal's brilliant quadruple hundred, Haryana declared on 742 for 8 early on the third morning.

Dalal, who scored 4 against Madhya Pradesh, and 23 and 67 against Jharkhand in the last two matches, was sent to open in the match against Mumbai and shared a 410-run partnership for the first wicket with Arsh Ranga. Ranga scored 151.

Dalal hit 46 fours and 12 sixes in 465 balls in his marathon innings.
