It is 30 years since Sachin Tendulkar and Vinod Kambli plundered their world record stand of 664 in the Harris Shield tournament for Shardashram Vidyamandir against St Xavier's at the Sassanian Cricket Club, Azad Maidan. Establishing that it was indeed a world record took some doing.

Marcus Couto, an umpire known to Tendulkar and Kambli, had to first come up with a detailed scoresheet of the match which he did through the Mumbai Schools Sports Association (MSSA) before the feat made it to the Guinness Book of World Records and Wisden Cricketers' Almanack.
