After some batsmen like Pranav Dhanawade, Prithvi Shaw, Armaan Jaffer, another young Indian batsman made such a mountain of runs in school cricket that he completely destroyed the opposing team. Gujarat's 18-year-old batsman Dron Desai created history by single-handedly scoring nearly 500 runs for his school in a local tournament. In the Under-19 tournament held in Ahmedabad, Dron Desai of St. Xavier's School scored 498 runs single-handedly by playing an explosive and long innings against JL English School. On the other hand, the other team could not even come close to Dron's score in their two innings combined.

93 fours and sixes, 498 runs in 320 balls

According to the information, in this match which started on 23rd September, Xavier's lost their first wicket for just 15 runs and second wicket for 26 runs in their first innings. From here Drona, who came at number three, took over the charge and then what, the fielders of JL School were just seeing the ball going towards the boundary. Drona first made a partnership of 350 runs with Het Desai, then also made a partnership of 188 runs with the team captain Virat Talati. Both these batsmen also scored centuries but Drona Desai remained the hero.

Right-handed batsman Drona played a historic innings and scored 498 runs in just 320 balls. That is, he batted brilliantly at a strike rate of 155.62. He remained at the crease for a total of 372 minutes. During this, Drona hit a total of 93 fours and sixes in his innings, which included 86 fours and 7 sixes. Eventually, Drona was out at the team's score of 775 runs and missed crossing the 500 mark. On the basis of his innings, Xavier declared the innings after scoring 844 runs.

The second team could make 40 and 92 runs

According to the Indian Express report, Drona was disappointed even after playing such a big innings. This disappointment was of missing the magical figure of 500 runs, which remained just 2 runs away from him. Despite this, his score was too big for JL English's team, which could not even reach close to his score even after combining two innings. JL English's team was playing with only 10 players and hence their innings ended as soon as 9 wickets fell. In the first innings, this team could score only 40 runs, while in the second innings it collapsed for 92 runs and thus Xavier's won by an innings and 712 runs.
