Young Maharashtra batsman Pawan Shah smashed 282, the second highest individual score in U-19 internationals, along with six consecutive boundaries in an over as India posted a mammoth 613-8 against Sri Lanka on the second day of the final Youth Test yesterday.

India declared when Shah, 18, from Pune, was dismissed after missing out on a triple hundred by 18 runs. His 282 came off 332 balls with 33 boundaries and a six in just under seven hours. He failed to beat Australian Clinton Peake's 304 not out against India in Melbourne in 1995, which is still the highest score at this U-19 level. "Six boundaries in an over went in good flow while scoring a double century. It feels good, but I am not satisfied yet. I have to perform consistently," Pawan told mid-day from Colombo yesterday.
