Chinmay Sutar, the 29-year-old Mizoram batter, became only the second India player to hit a quadruple century in a first-class innings. Playing in only his second first-class fixture, Sutar surpassed Prithvi Shaw's 379 to achieve the second-highest score in Ranji Trophy history, finishing on an unbeaten 400*, against Nagaland in a plate league fixture in Sovima.
Sutar, who was unbeaten on 392 at tea, reached 400 in the 155th over before Mizoram declared on 581 for 9. By then, he had put together an unbroken 190 for the tenth wicket with Lalrempunia Chhakchhuak. Sutar was within touching distance for the all-time record for the tournament's highest-ever individual score, held by BB Nimbalkar, who hit 443* for Maharashtra against Kathiawar in 1948-49.
Their partnership is the third highest for the last-wicket in Ranji history, 43 short of the all-time record for the highest last-wicket stand in Ranji history - 233 runs - currently held by Ajay Sharma (259) and Maninder Singh (78) for Delhi against Mumbai during the 1991-92 season.
Sutar represented Mumbai earlier this year during the Vijay Hazare Trophy, the domestic 50-overs competition, following impressive returns in the local leagues. In June, he steered MSC Maratha Royals to a successful title defence in the Mumbai T20 League, finishing the tournament with back-to-back half-centuries. He finished the season with 212 runs in six innings at a strike rate touching 120.
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 their narrow three-wicket loss to Manipur. Mizoram's fightback despite conceding a 68-run lead was due to Sutar's second-innings effort.
