'I could score a thousand and nine if... '

The record-breaking feat of Pranav Dhanawade has left most of us in awe. Would you imagine scoring that much? We asked fans on social media to complete the sentence "I could score a 1009 if... "

Fifteen-year-old Pranav Dhanawade scored a record 652*, Mumbai, January 4, 2015

Even 652 would seem a tall ask for most, let alone 1009
