In a thrilling turn of events during the Duleep Trophy match, 19-year-old Musheer Khan saved India B from a dire situation, helping his team post a commendable total of 321 runs against India A. On the opening day of the match, India B found themselves in deep trouble, losing 7 wickets for just 91 runs. Star players like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sarfaraz Khan, and Rishabh Pant were already back in the pavilion, and the team’s morale seemed shaken. However, young Musheer Khan refused to let his team crumble under pressure, delivering an exceptional innings that not only stabilized the innings but also set new records.
Musheer’s monumental 181-run knock off 373 balls, which included 5 sixes and 16 fours, showcased his resilience and composure. His brilliant performance was complemented by Navdeep Saini, with whom he shared a record-breaking 205-run partnership for the 8th wicket. This stand became the highest-ever partnership for the 8th wicket in the history of the Duleep Trophy. The Musheer-Saini duo helped India B recover from a precarious position and set a respectable total on the board.
Reflecting on his innings, Musheer credited his father for training him to play big innings, revealing that he considers his century to begin only after crossing 150 runs. “My father taught me to free up my shots only after reaching 150. That mindset has helped me push my limits,” Musheer said. This approach has evidently worked for the young cricketer, as his recent performances suggest.

In the Ranji Trophy final, Musheer once again rose to the occasion by scoring a century. His consistent performances on big stages have made him a promising talent for Indian cricket.
Thanks to Musheer’s resilience and Saini’s support, India B was able to post 321 runs in their first innings, giving them a competitive edge in the match. At just 19 years old, Musheer Khan continues to impress with his ability to handle pressure and deliver when it matters most, marking him as one of the most exciting prospects in Indian cricket.
The Duleep Trophy match continues, but Musheer Khan’s innings will be remembered for turning the tide for India B and setting a new benchmark in the tournament’s history.
