Playing for KC Gandhi School, Kalyan, Pranav, son of a auto driver, smashed 1009 not out off 323 balls. It included 129 fours and 59 sixes.
Tendulkar has fond memories of Mumbai's school cricket. In 1988, he and Vinod Kambli featured in a record 664-run partnership for Shardashram Vidyamandir School.
Tendulkar was the first batsman to score a double hundred in ODI cricket. Words of encouragement from the Little Master will come as the best New Year gift for Pranav.
Pranav was unbeaten on 652 on Monday. He had gone past Arthur Collins who made 628 back in 1899 in a Junior House Match in England.
On the heels of Tendulkar's tweet, offspinner Harbhajan Singh, who has been selected in the Twenty20 series against Australia, also tweeted
