05 November,2010 12:00 PM ISTArmaan Jaffer seems to have taken a leaf out of his uncle, Wasim Jafferu00e2u20acu2122s book. His habit of batting long and scoring big has made a huge impact on his nephew who has been piling on runs one innings after another. Batting one down, Armaan scored the highest individual score of an unbeaten 295 of the season in the Giles Shield under-14 inter-school cricket tournament. His monumental innings came against IES Raja Shivaji, Dadar yesterday as he smashed them to all corners of the park at Cross Maidan. Story & Video By - Husain M Zaidi,MiD-DAY
22 December,2010 08:44 AM ISTIES Raja Shivaji, Dadar had to toil extremely hard for the major part of two days to dismiss Rizvi Springfield's Armaan Jaffer, the nephew of India opener Wasim. And when the moment finally arrived, he had a record-breaking 498 to his name as Rizvi put up a colossal 800 for 8 declared in the Giles Shield at Karnatak Sporting Association ground at Cross Maidan. The right hander is not the first quadruple hundred scorer in the Giles Shield. Yet, Parikshit Valsangkar, who scored 357 for IES VN Sule Guruji, Dadar in the elite division against Christ Church school last year, is considered the record holder. Story By - Husain M Zaidi
