Andhra Pradesh - Hyderabad   

Smashing duo

B. Manoj Kumar and Mohammed Shaibaz Tumbi have set not just the city but in fact the entire country talking about their feat in an inter-school cricket match.

Even the BBC carried a report on the feat.

Shattering the Sachin Tendulkar-Vinod Kambli record was not just all.

The city duo amassed 721 runs in an amazing 40 overs and then, a stunned opposition was bowled out for a mere 21 runs in just seven overs.

For Hyderabad, it was Mohammed Azharuddin and Laxman or Shivlal Yadav and Venkatapathy Raju till now. Time to start waiting for Manoj and Tumbi to enter the list?
