Duleep Trophy: Musheer Khan’s Unbeaten 105 Rescues India B From Precarious Situation
India B had tons of established batters like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Sarfaraz Khan (Musheer’s elder brother) and Rishabh Pant. But an impressive Musheer outshined all of them to grab the spotlight on the opening day of the competition through his third first-class century. His unbeaten knock of 105 was laced with ten fours and two sixes in an outstanding display of gritty batting combined with an unflinching resolve to take India B from 94/7 to 202/7 in 79 overs at the end of the day’s play.
Apart from bringing up his maiden Duleep Trophy century in 205 balls, Musheer also stitched an unbroken 108-run stand with Navdeep Saini (29 not out) for the eighth wicket. Saini turned out to be the perfect foil for Musheer as the youngster went about his way of scoring runs – grinding it out against pacers when they were dominant and once spinners came in, he was free-flowing in hitting boundaries.
