Mysuru: Mysuru-lad Kruthik Krishna created a record behind the stumps on third-day of the ongoing Ranji Trophy quarterfinals against Mumbai at BKC Grounds in Mumbai yesterday.

Kruthik, who made his debut against Punjab this season, impressed with seven dismissals in the second innings against Mumbai in the all-important match.

A native of Mandya, popularly known as Sugar Town for its sugarcane cultivation, Kruthik Krishna started to play cricket when he was in Class 3 at 7 Hills Cricket Academy in the town, under the guidance of his Coach M. Mahadev.

Later, for better opportunities, he shifted to Mysuru and started to play for Rao Bahadur Narasappa Cricket Club (RBNCC) ‘A’ team in KSCA Mysuru Zonal League matches, which he still continues. He also plays for Vultures Cricket Team in Bengaluru League.

He was also among 10 budding wicket-keepers identified by Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for specialist camp held in 2018.
