Musheer Khan’s big statement after scoring a century
Musheer Khan Ranji Trophy: The final match of Ranji Trophy 2024 is being played between Mumbai and Vidarbha team at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The presence of great Sachin Tendulkar on the third day of play proved to be inspirational for 19-year-old batsman Musheer Khan, whose innings of 136 runs helped Mumbai set Vidarbha a mammoth target of 538 runs to win.
Musheer Khan’s excellent form continues
Musheer has tightened Mumbai’s grip on the match by scoring his second century in three knockout matches of Ranji Trophy this season. Earlier, he had played an unbeaten inning of 203 runs against Baroda in the quarter-finals. He also played an important inning of 55 runs against Tamil Nadu in the semi-finals. Musheer said after the third day’s play that I did not know earlier that Sachin sir was present here. I saw him on the big screen when I was batting at 60. It motivated me to do well because he was watching the match and I had to impress him. Let us tell you that Tendulkar and Indian captain Rohit Sharma were present at Wankhede Stadium.
Musheer Khan gave a big statement
Musheer said that spending time at the crease with experienced international players like captain Ajinkya Rahane and Shreyas Iyer helped him learn a lot. Musheer made a partnership of 130 runs with Rahane for the third wicket and 168 runs with Iyer for the fourth wicket. He said that I got to learn a lot during the partnership. It is a matter of pride for me that I got a chance to bat with two Test players. Every bowler of his team was trying to get Ajju Dada (Ajinkya Rahane) out. This made my work easier.
The batsman, who recently played for the Indian team in the Under-19 World Cup, said that scoring a century in the final of the country’s premier domestic tournament was like a dream come true for him. He said that scoring a century in the Ranji Trophy final was a dream for me. We (Iyer and Musheer) had a good partnership, we interacted well and Iyer bhai was insisting that we have to bat for a long time and take the match out of the reach of the opposition. Let us tell you that Musheer has become the youngest player to score a century for Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy final. Before him this record was in the name of Russian Modi.
