Pawan Shah cracks 282 in U-19 internationals

Pawan Shah smashed 282, the second highest individual score in Under-19 internationals as India posted a mammoth 613 for 8 against hosts Sri Lanka in the first innings on the second day of the final 'Youth Test' in Hambantota yesterday.

The Indian innings was declared when the 18-year-old right-hander from Pune was dismissed at 282. His score came off 332 balls with 33



boundaries and a six in just under seven hours.

He failed to beat Australian Clinton Peake's 304 not out against India in Melbourne in 1995, which is still the highest score at this Under-19 level. 

In reply, Sri Lanka were 140 for 4 at stumps with left-arm seamer Mohit Jangra picking up three wickets for 43.
