Chinmay Sutar Creates History With Unbeaten 400 in Ranji Trophy for Mizoram

Chinmay Sutar made history on Monday, October 19, 2026, by scoring an unbeaten 400 for Mizoram against Nagaland in a Ranji Trophy Plate Division match at the Nagaland Cricket Stadium in Sovima. The left-handed batter became only the second player to score a quadruple century in the history of the Ranji Trophy.

Sutar also joined an elite group of batters who have scored 400 or more runs in a single innings in first-class cricket. The list includes legendary names such as Brian Lara, Don Bradman and Hanif Mohammad.

Before Sutar's achievement, Maharashtra's BB Nimbalkar held the Ranji Trophy record with an unbeaten 443 against Kathiawar in Pune in December 1948.

How Sutar Reached His Historic 400

Sutar remained unbeaten on 400 off 517 deliveries, striking 46 fours and seven sixes during his marathon innings. His performance helped Mizoram declare at 581 for nine.

The milestone came after a promising start to his Ranji Trophy career. In his debut appearance, Sutar narrowly missed a century after being run out for 99.
