Mumbai teen attempts record for batting longest, stays at crease for over 72 hours

The Hindu  

Eyeing a new world record for batting the longest, Mumbai teen Siddarth Mohite stayed at the crease for a whopping 72 hours and five minutes during a marathon net session and is now waiting for the Guinness Book of World Record to recognise the feat. The 19-year-old Mohite passed compatriot Virag Mane’s 50-hour record, created in 2015, before batting for 72 hours and five minutes over the weekend. Mohite's recording and required papers will now be sent to the Guinness World Record books, Singh said in statement. To be very honest, I was not very keen for this but I was very much aware that many young cricketers have lost some good years," Singh said "So I thought 'if someone wanted to do something different why not?'
