Unbelievable effort! But, similar to the other lad who scored 1000 last year, I wonder about the bowling and the size of the boundaries.

I call BS... something fishy must have gone on. or he is playing well below his standard.

However that must be some hitting!

Its a local match, the score-sheet clearly shows unprofessional handling. The way matches are played in local tournament in Indian cities, few runs are added or removed by mistake, however every credit goes to batsman if match was fair and square.
The feat is great but not surprising. Every now and then someone comes up with something cool. It doesn't shows exceptional talent just a best day for that man and I don't think he can ever repeat the same or anything near it again

One article was claiming the boundary was 40mx60m but he got a call from the Delhi Daredeviles for a trial. Kudos to him.

That explains a lot. Anyway trial is still good call.

40mx60m boundary or not you've still got to clear it.
How many times do you see see someone haul out targeting the short boundary? It only takes one mishit

Chances are that your mishit will also clear boundary

Unlikely to carry to the edge of the 30 yard circle...

But I know the effort it takes to clear 40M boundary. Mishit or not, a good day is just you need. All credit to batsman for innings. But shorter boundary, few drops and bad umpire call giving not out, lousy inexperienced bowling is perfect day to score this much. Explain the type of bowling taking this much hitting

Believe it there will be no 30 yards circle for 40M boundary it gets converted 20 Yards or something near. personal experience
