Opening batsman Vedant Nirmal, 15, put on a confident batting display to register his maiden century, scoring a 182-ball 103, as Swami Vivekanand International School (Borivli) posted 288 all out in 75.2 overs against General Education Academy (Chembur) on Day One of the three-day MSSA inter-school Harris Shield boys U-16 cricket final at the Brabourne Stadium on Monday.

After SVIS elected to bat, Vedant was watchful right from the start and played responsibly throughout his 237-minute stay at the crease. He stitched a 66-run stand with opening partner Hrishikesh Naik (22) in the first 15 overs. Later, he got together with No. 3 Yash Jambulkar (65) for a solid 114-run partnership to lay the foundation for a big total.
