days

His mother suggested that he should go for 45. The opener believes in having luck on his side and the number is certainly bringing him some.

5. Hardik Pandya (228) – His highest score for the Baroda U-16 team

Baroda was struggling at 60/4 when Pandya came into bat. The all-rounder scored a double century and helped his side win the match.

6. Ravichandran Ashwin (99) – His favourite number is 9

Not only is 9 his favourite number, his school roll number was also 9. But when he joined Team India, Parthiv Patel had already taken that number, so Ashwin had to settle for 99. Ashwin’s Twitter handle is also @ashwinravi99.
