Young Delhi player Aryan Sharma scores 311 runs in school T20 match

21-year-old Priyanshu Moliya achieved a historic feat by scoring over three hundred runs. In the Ranji Trophy 2026-27 tournament, he played an innings without being dismissed, accumulating 321 runs against Jammu and Kashmir while representing Baroda.

Thanks to this achievement, he became the player who scored the highest individual score in the first class among players for Baroda. This match is taking place at the Reliance Cricket Stadium in Vadodara, and it was the second day of the game.

During this innings, Priyanshu Moliya faced 492 balls, hitting 36 fours and one six. Due to his performance, Baroda managed to score an impressive 616 runs in the first half of the match.

Moliya surpassed the record of Gul Mohammad, who previously held the highest individual score for Baroda—319 runs. The list of top local achievements includes Dipak Hooda in third place with 293 runs, Vijay Hajare in fourth with 288 runs, and Jacob Martin in fifth with 271 runs.

Furthermore, by reaching three hundred runs at the age of 21, Priyanshu Moliya entered the list of players who achieved this result in Indian first-class cricket at the youngest age. After Baroda completed its innings, Jammu and Kashmir started its first half. By the end of the day, the team had scored 6 runs without losing a batsman.

Following the loss in the third T20 match in Wellington against India, New Zealand captain Michelle Jenner admitted that it is extremely difficult to stop such aggressive players as Abhishek Sharma and Vaibhav Suryavanshi.

In Wellington, the Indian team reached the target score of 199 runs in just 13.2 overs. Abhishek scored 113 runs off 38 balls, while Vaibhav scored 45 runs off 19 balls. Thanks to this, India won by six wickets and gained an undeniable 3-0 advantage in the five-match series.

Jenner noted that he had seen a similar style of play before, for example, during the Indian Premier League (IPL), and now he was facing it in New Zealand. He emphasized that once these batsmen get into rhythm, it becomes very hard to stop them.

Speaking about his team, Jenner pointed out that losing the coin toss again did not favor the team. Nevertheless, the partnership between Daryl Mitchell and Beban Jackson offered hope of reaching a score around 200. In Jenner's opinion, 200 runs would be a good result on this type of pitch.

He highly praised the performance of the Indian bowlers, noting their brilliant work in the final overs and the effective use of yorkers, which made it difficult for the New Zealand batsmen to score runs. Jenner also acknowledged that bowling after the dew sets in becomes challenging.

According to him, the powerplay is a critical part of this format, and India demonstrated how to play in the first six overs.

Jenner also mentioned positive aspects of his team's play. He stated that various batsmen are capable of turning a good start into a large total. Glenn Phillips performed well in the previous match, and Daryl Mitchell scored runs in the current one.

The captain noted that it is a good sign for the team when the opening batsmen can stay on the field and reach a score of around 80 runs. Increased player confidence will contribute to their presence on the field. However, he admitted that scoring runs against India and defending a large total is not easy.

Jenner revealed that New Zealand used various bowling variations against the Indian batsmen. After observing Axar Patel's play in the first innings, he felt there was no significant advantage for spinners on the pitch, whereas fast bowlers received some assistance from the seam. He added that when the Indian batsmen settle in, the bowlers have to change pace. Initially, Michael Bresshaw was tested against two left-handed batsmen, but the Indian players handled the spin well in that over.

After falling behind 3-0 in the series, the task of a comeback fell to New Zealand. Jenner stated that the team needs to further refine its tactics against Indian batsmen. He mentioned the next venue, Eden Park, noting that the ground there is potentially small on all sides. Under such conditions, stopping India's aggressive play could become even more difficult.

India has gained an undeniable advantage by winning three consecutive matches in the five-match series. The fourth T20 will take place on Friday (October 30th), and New Zealand will try to win this match to start their count in the series.

The 18-year-old Aryavir Sehvag, son of former cricketer Virenda Sehvag, demonstrated batting mastery during the Vino Mankar Trophy tournament. On October 16 (Friday) at the Dr. PVG Raju ACA Sports complex in Vijayanagar, in the match against Chandigarh, he played a captain's innings, scoring 173 runs off 143 balls.

This innings featured 19 fours and 8 sixes, with his average strike rate reaching 121. Thanks to Aryavir Sehvag's impressive performance, the Delhi U-19 team managed to score 289 runs while losing 6 wickets in the allotted 50 overs.

Aryavir took responsibility in difficult circumstances and helped the team reach a high score. At the other end, opener Arnav Bugga contributed 47 runs. The two players combined for 98 runs for the first wicket, giving Delhi a strong start.

During the game, Aryavir Sehvag consistently scored runs for Delhi, pulling the team out of a difficult situation. After Arnav's dismissal, he formed a partnership of 48 runs with wicketkeeper-batsman Abiraj Singh for the third wicket. Abiraj scored 18 runs with the help of one four.

When Delhi's score was 179 for four wickets down, Aryavir Sehvag partnered with Shantanu Yadav to add 89 runs for the fifth wicket. Shantanu remained not out, scoring 27 runs. His innings concluded in the 46th over due to Shrestha Duggal. From Chandigarh's side, Rupesh Yadav took the most wickets, claiming two.

This innings was particularly significant for Aryavir Sehvag after the previous match where the Delhi team suffered a crushing defeat against Karnataka. Karnataka scored 418 runs, and Delhi was bowled out for 220. In that match, Aryavir scored 32 runs but could not play a big innings.

Now, playing against Chandigarh, he responded with his attacking play and led the team. The Vino Mankar Trophy Elite tournament is running from October 8, and Aryavir Sehvag captains the 16-member Delhi squad.

Earlier, in September, Aryavir Sehvag represented the Indian U-19 team in a three-match youth series against Australia. He scored 109 runs across three innings then. In the first rain-affected match, he contributed to India's seven-run victory by scoring 28 runs off 26 balls. In the second ODI, he was dismissed after scoring 47 runs, and in the final match, his batting brought up 34 runs.
