Cricket never ceases to amaze us and modern day batters have just literally upped their game. There was a time back then in the 90’s and early 2000’s, scoring even a 150 in a One Day Game was a commendable feat (no doubt, rules, conditions and many factors like cricket gear, bat size, bat thickness & ground size were quite different back then) and then came Rohit Sharma who literally defied all the odds and went on to score 274 in a 50 over game. One such player from Mumbai who has attracted attention all over is Bravish Shetty who yesterday did a similar thing in Madhav Mantri Tournament at Top Division level in Mumbai what Rohit did vs Sri Lanka a few years back at International Level.
