Sixteen years after Sachin Tendulkar and Vinod Kambli were involved in a world-record unbroken partnership of 664 runs, a Mumbai (formerly Bombay) school team has revived fond memories.
On Wednesday, Anjuman-I-Islam Fort English School ran up a massive total of 989-6 declared in the Harris Shield Under-17 competition. With the addition of 132 penalty runs as their opponents, Baptist School (Thane), bowled 11 overs short, the total reached an astronomical 1,121. Top scorer, with 318, was Shishir Tiwari, who was born on 8 November 1989, exactly a week before Tendulkar's Test bow. He added 531 for the fifth wicket with Sufian Shaikh, who hit 202 not out.
