Playing for Springfield Rizvi School, Sarfaraz Khan also struck 12 sixes in his knock spanning two days that came off 421 deliveries against the Indian Education Society in the Under-16 Inter-School Harris Shield Tournament.

As a 15-year-old, Tendulkar had caught the imagination of a nation with his 329-run knock in the same tournament in 1988 before making his international debut the next year.

With his energy-sapping innings Sarfaraz, a sixth standard student, also wiped off the 23-year-old previous mark of the highest individual score in the tourney that stood at 422.

That knock came from Sanjeev Jadhav of Shardashram Vidyamandir, the school which Tendulkar represented.
