Prakhar Chaturvedi breaks Yuvraj Singh’s Cooch Behar record with unbeaten 404

SHIVAMOGGA:

Karnataka’s Prakhar Chaturvedi on Monday broke Yuvraj Singh’s 25-year-old record for the highest score in the U-19 Cooch Behar Trophy final with an unbeaten 404 off 636 balls against Mumbai here.

Yuvraj, who went on to become an Indian great, had smashed 358 for Punjab in a game against Bihar back in 1999. India’s World Cup winning captain M S Dhoni was part of that Bihar squad.

The highest individual score in India’s premier U-19 domestic event is Vijay Zol’s 451 not out for Maharashtra against Assam in 2011-12. Chaturvedi’s epic effort included 46 fours and three sixes. ”Karnataka’s Prakhar Chaturvedi becomes the first player to score 400 in the final of #CoochBehar Trophy with his splendid 404* knock against Mumbai,” posted the BCCI on X.
