It is the the highest unbeaten score by an opening batsman in first-class cricket. Gohel achieved the feat in 723 balls and smashed 45 fours and one six on the way. Gohel is also the first opener to remain unbeaten after crossing the 300-run-mark in 81 years in first class cricket. With his innings, he surpassed the previous highest total of 357 scored by county cricket legend Bobby Abel back in 1899. This is the second time that a Gujarat batsman has scored a triple century with the previous one coming in November 2016 by Priyank Panchal.
