On Saturday, young Mumbai batsman Musheer Khan converted his first first-class century into a double century. Musheer played a brilliant inning during the Ranji Trophy quarter-final against Baroda at the BKC Ground in Mumbai. After the top order faltered, Musheer came to bat at number three in this match and scored a double century in 350 balls. In this inning, he hit 18 fours.
At one time, the Mumbai team lost 4 wickets at a score of 99. Thanks to the lower-order batters, Mumbai scored 384 runs. This was Musheer’s first-class match after January 2023. Earlier in three FC matches, Musheer scored 96 runs in five innings with a best score 42.
Musheer Khan became the second youngest Mumbai batsman to score a Ranji Trophy double-century. His age is 18 years 362 days. Former cricketer Wasim Jaffer holds the record for scoring a double century at the youngest age. He scored a double against Saurashtra in the 1996–97 Ranji Trophy when he was 18 and 262 days old.
Young batsman Musheer Khan scored an unbeaten 203 runs in 357 balls. Baroda spinner Bhargav Bhatt took seven wickets for 112 runs. The Mumbai team was in trouble in the ongoing season due to the exclusion of some players, including Shivam Dubey and Shreyas Iyer. Musheer’s brother Sarfaraz is also not a part of the team, as he plays for the Indian team in the Test series against England. After this, Musheer got a chance to play.
