Ex-All-rounder of India Yuvraj Singh Praised Teenager Who Broke His 24-Year-Old Record
Former all-rounder of Indian cricket team Yuvraj Singh was all praise for teenager Prakhar Chaturvedi, who slammed 404 in the Cooch Behar Trophy final to break his 24-year-old record. The youngster batted for 638 balls to achieve the massive feat and strengthened his chances of making Karnataka U23 and Ranji Trophy debuts. He became the first cricketer ever to hit a quadruple century in the Cooch Behar Trophy final, as Karnataka earned their first title. Yuvraj held the record after scoring 358 in the summit clash.
Yuvraj wrote on social media platform X, "Very happy to see this! Records are meant to be broken, and I'm glad to see the future of Indian cricket in safe hands.”
Riding on Chaturvedi's innings, Karnataka made 890 for eight in 223 overs, replying to Mumbai's 380 all-out in the final at Shivamogga.
Chaturvedi said, “It is a great feeling. I am delighted that the innings came in the final and helped Karnataka earn the first title (Cooch Behar). I feel a bit tired, but, yes, nothing can match the happiness of a team winning the title, and you are contributing to it.”
