The Milestone: Playing in just his second first-class fixture, Mizoram batter Chinmay Sutar smashed an unbeaten 400 runs against Nagaland during a plate league fixture in Sovima. Elite Company: He became only the second Indian player in history to score a quadruple century in first-class cricket, joining Bhausaheb Nimbalkar, who scored 433* back in 1948. Tournament History: Sutar surpassed Prithvi Shaw's 379 to record the second-highest individual score in Ranji Trophy history, finishing just shy of Nimbalkar's all-time tournament record of 443*. Innings Breakdown & Record Partnership Pacing the Knock: Sutar was unbeaten on 392 at tea before bringing up his historic 400 in the 155th over, after which Mizoram declared their innings at 581 for 9. Last-Wicket Stand: He shared an unbroken 189-run partnership for the tenth wicket with Lalrempunia Chhakchhuak. This stands as the third-highest tenth-wicket partnership in Ranji Trophy history. Prior to the start of the 2026-27 season, Sutar obtained an NoC from the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) and made his Ranji Trophy debut for Mizoram in last week's season opener, hitting 35 and 99 in a three-wicket loss to Manipur. Mizoram's fightback despite conceding a 68-run lead was due to Sutar's second-innings effort. First-Class Rarities: Sutar's knock marked the 12th time a score of 400 or more has been reached in first-class cricket history. It is also the first time a batter has converted their maiden first-class century into a quadruple hundred, breaking the previous record held by Bihar's Sakibul Gani (341). Background & Journey Switching Teams: Sutar previously represented Mumbai in white-ball cricket, including helping MSC Maratha Royals win the Mumbai T20 League earlier in the year. Transition to Mizoram: Prior to the 2026-27 season, he obtained a No-Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Mumbai Cricket Association and debuted for Mizoram in the previous week's season opener against Manipur (where he scored 35 and 99).
