Mizoram’s Chinmay Sutar etched his name into Ranji Trophy history with an unbeaten 400 against Nagaland, becoming only the second cricketer to score a quadruple century in the competition. His innings carried Mizoram to 581 for 9 before they declared on Day 2 of their Plate group match in Sovima. It was a landmark moment in Indian domestic cricket history, achieved in only his second first-class appearance.

From 181 to 400 Not Out

The 29-year-old Sutar batted 517 deliveries for his 400 not out, combining stamina with disciplined strokeplay. His knock featured 46 fours and seven sixes as he held firm through a long day of red-ball cricket.

Starting the day on 181, he reached 392 by tea and completed the 400-run milestone in the 155th over. Mizoram declared immediately after, closing their first innings at 581 for 9.

• Sutar made 400 not out from 517 balls.

• He struck 46 fours and seven sixes.

• Mizoram declared at 581 for 9.

• The innings came in only his second first-class match.

After coming close to a maiden first-class century in his previous appearance, Sutar produced an astonishing leap. His first hundred became a quadruple ton, a feat cricket has seldom witnessed.

A Place Beside Nimbalkar

Sutar’s 400 is now the second-highest individual score in Ranji Trophy history. It moved him past Prithvi Shaw’s 379 and placed him behind only B.B. Nimbalkar’s unbeaten 443 for Maharashtra against Kathiawar in 1948-49.

Nimbalkar had been the competition’s only quadruple-centurion for nearly 80 years. Sutar’s achievement now gives the record list a second name and adds one of the most notable batting milestones in Indian domestic cricket.

He also became the 10th batter in first-class cricket history to reach 400 or more in an innings. That group features Don Bradman and Brian Lara, highlighting the rarity of the accomplishment beyond Indian domestic cricket.

A Historic Last-Wicket Alliance

Sutar’s unbroken tenth-wicket stand with Lalrempunia Chhakchhuak was among the most striking elements of the day. Together, they added 190 runs, with Chhakchhuak contributing 14 not out from 76 balls while Sutar controlled the scoring.

The partnership became the third-highest last-wicket stand in Ranji Trophy history. It also finished within 43 runs of the tournament’s all-time record for the highest final-wicket partnership.

The stand was crucial because it allowed Sutar to keep batting after Mizoram had lost nine wickets. Instead of a quiet end to the innings, the final pair turned the day into a historic one for Mizoram and Indian domestic cricket.

Sarfaraz Khan’s 18th Century

While Sutar dominated attention, Sarfaraz Khan delivered another strong performance in Ranji Trophy 2026. Playing for Mumbai against Himachal Pradesh, he brought up his 18th first-class hundred.

Sarfaraz reached three figures off 152 balls and struck 13 fours. Mumbai had already dismissed Himachal Pradesh for 140 in the first innings, and his century helped them build a lead of more than 250 runs.

His red-ball record continues to impress. Across 65 first-class matches, Sarfaraz has now scored 18 centuries and 16 fifties, underlining his consistency in Indian domestic cricket.

Patidar’s Timely Hundred

Rajat Patidar also joined the list of centurions in the latest Ranji Trophy round. The Madhya Pradesh batter reached three figures, adding another important innings to a competition that has already delivered several notable batting displays.

Patidar’s return to domestic cricket has been closely watched, especially following his leadership role with Madhya Pradesh in white-ball cricket. A Ranji Trophy century provides another timely red-ball performance as domestic form remains relevant to India’s longer-format plans.

A Round Full of Runs

The second round of Ranji Trophy 2026 began on October 18 and has already featured several memorable batting performances. Alongside Sutar’s 400 not out, Sarfaraz Khan and Rajat Patidar both reached centuries, giving fans plenty to follow across Elite and Plate group fixtures.

The Meaning of 400

Scoring a quadruple century in first-class cricket demands patience, fitness, concentration, and the ability to bat for long periods without losing rhythm. Sutar showed all those qualities while carrying Mizoram’s innings and making the most of a Plate group fixture.

His knock also highlights the depth of Indian domestic cricket. A batter playing only his second first-class match produced one of the greatest innings in Ranji Trophy history, proving that big moments can arrive from anywhere in the domestic structure.
