Armaan Jaffer seems to have taken a leaf out of his uncle, Wasim Jafferu00e2u20acu2122s book. His habit of batting long and scoring big has made a huge impact on his nephew who has been piling on runs one innings after another. Batting one down, Armaan scored the highest individual score of an unbeaten 295 of the season in the Giles Shield under-14 inter-school cricket tournament. His monumental innings came against IES Raja Shivaji, Dadar yesterday as he smashed them to all corners of the park at Cross Maidan. Story & Video By - Husain M Zaidi,MiD-DAY
