Mizoram batter Chinmay Sutar has created history in the Ranji Trophy by becoming only the second batter ever to score a quadruple century in the premier first-class tournament. Chinmay Sutar is playing for Mizoram as a guest player in just his second First-Class match.
The former Mumbai batter delivered a stunning performance against Nagaland in the ongoing Ranji Trophy 2026-27 match at the Nagaland Cricket Association Stadium, as he smashed a record-breaking knock of 400 runs off 517 balls on Day 2 of the game on Monday, October 19.
Chinmay Sutar scripts history with stunning 400* in Ranji Trophy
Chinmay Sutar played a marathon knock of 400* runs off 517 balls that included 46 fours and seven sixes in the ongoing Ranji Trophy 2026-27 clash between Mizoram and Nagaland.
With this incredible knock, the 29-year-old batter has surpassed Prithvi Shaw’s famous 379-run score to register the second-highest individual score in Ranji Trophy history. He now has a record of scoring the second-highest individual score in Ranji Trophy history.
Sutar has now become only the second batter to score 400 runs in Ranji Trophy history. The only other player to reach this milestone was legendary batter B.B. Nimbalkar, who scored an unbeaten 443 for Maharashtra against Kathiawar in 1948. Scoring 400 runs in just his second First-Class appearance makes this achievement even more special.

Chinmay Sutar drags Mizoram to 581/9 in Ranji Trophy 2026-27 clash
He single-handedly took Mizoram to a huge first-innings total of 581/9 against Nagaland in the ongoing Ranji Trophy 2026-27 clash. Sutar held the innings together and continued to score runs even as wickets fell around him.
Only Jehu Anderson managed to hit a fifty, while the rest of the players couldn’t even score 30 runs for Mizoram. Amid this, Jasprit Bumrah gets special treatment, Mohammed Shami gets snubbed? Mohammad Kaif demands explanation.
Sutar’s partnerships with the lower-order batters, including a remarkable unbeaten 190 for the tenth wicket with Lalrempunia Chhakchhuak (14* off 76 balls) helped Mizoram build a strong total and completely change the course of the match against Nagaland.
Sutar and No. 11 batter create history with third-highest last-wicket stand
Well, Chinmay Sutar’s incredible partnership with Lalrempunia Chhakchhuak has become the third-highest last-wicket stand in Ranji Trophy history.
The pair fell just 43 runs short of the all-time record of 233 runs, set by Ajay Sharma and Maninder Singh for Delhi against Mumbai during the 1991-92 season.
Chinmay Sutar’s incredible journey before historic 400*
Before making headlines for Mizoram, Sutar represented Mumbai in the Vijay Hazare Trophy earlier this year after impressing in local cricket. In June, he helped MSC Maratha Royals defend their Mumbai T20 League title, scoring half-centuries in both his final two innings. He finished the tournament with 212 runs from six innings at a strike rate close to 120.
Ahead of the 2026-27 season, the 29-year-old obtained a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) to play for Mizoram. He made his Ranji Trophy debut in the season opener against Manipur last week, scoring 35 and 99.
Despite Mizoram conceding a 68-run first-innings lead, his second-innings effort helped the team fight back, although they eventually suffered a narrow three-wicket defeat.
