New Delhi. Double century in the quarter-finals, fifty in the semi-finals and century in the final… this is the performance of 19 year old young cricketer Musheer Khan, who has made his mark in the cricket world at an early age. When he scored a century in the Ranji Trophy final, Sachin Tendulkar also witnessed his innings. According to Musheer Khan, initially he did not even know that Sachin was watching the match. But as soon as he came to know, he decided that this was the right opportunity to impress the Master Blaster and now he would have to bat well.
The Ranji Trophy final is being played between Mumbai and Vidarbha at Wankhede Stadium. Mumbai has given a target of 538 runs to Vidarbha to win the final, which is next to impossible. The credit for putting Mumbai in this strong position goes to 19 year old Mushir Khan, who played an excellent inning of 136 runs on the third day of the match. He also got good support from Shreyas Iyer (95) and captain Ajinkya Rahane (73).
Who is best Virat or Rohit? Conspiracy to drop the country’s biggest batsman from the team! Is this an easy decision?
After the end of the third day’s play, Musheer Khan described his innings as inspired by Sachin Tendulkar. According to Cricinfo, Musheer said, ‘Initially I did not know that Sachin was watching this match. But when I was on the score of 60, I saw Sachin’s picture on the big screen. After this I got inspiration to bat well. I thought that when Sachin is watching me bat, I will have to impress him.
Let us tell you that Musheer Khan has been in excellent form for about two months. He scored brilliant centuries in the first Under-19 World Cup. After this, when he was selected in Mumbai’s Ranji team, he scored a double century in the quarter-finals itself. After this, he played an important inning of 55 runs in the semi-finals and also took 2 wickets.
