Sutar joined an exclusive club of batsmen to cross the 400-run mark in a single innings, along with legends like Brian Lara and Don Bradman. Before him, Maharashtra’s BB Nimbalkar scored an unbeaten 443 against Kathiawar in Pune in 1948.

The landmark knock came after an impressive start to his Ranji Trophy career. In his debut appearance, Sutar fell just short of a century and collapsed on 99 after running out. He represented Mumbai in the Vijay Hazare Trophy before joining Mizoram.

Sutara’s marathon innings featured 46 fours and seven sixes. He was on 231 when Lalrempuia arrived at the crease last to bat and continued to pile on the runs before Mizoram declared on 581 for nine. Sutar remained unbeaten on 400 from 517 deliveries.
