Pranav Prashant Dhanawade (born 13 May 2000) is an Indian cricketer from Kalyan, Maharashtra who holds the world record for the most runs scored in one innings. Stretching across two days on 4 and 5 January 2016, he became the first person to score more than 1,000 runs in one innings in an officially recognised match. Dhanawade scored 1,009 not out from 327 balls for K. C. Gandhi High School of the Kalyan administrative district, breaking the 116-year-old record of 628 not out set by English schoolboy A. E. J. Collins in 1899.[2][3][4]

On day two of their first innings, with only 5 of 11 players having batted, the K. C. Gandhi High School team declared on 1,465/3, also a world record. The match was one-sided, with the opposition, Arya Gurukul School, only scoring 31 runs in their first innings and 52 in their second.[5]
