[Saba Sports News] Young Musheer Khan delivered a standout performance in the Duleep Trophy 2024, scoring a brilliant century for India B against India A at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru.
The 19-year-old’s innings earned high praise from Indian T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav. The Duleep Trophy, which began on September 5, witnessed moments of brilliance on day one, with Khan’s knock being a highlight.
Khan reached his century off 205 balls, hitting 10 fours and two sixes. This marked his third First-Class century and his first in the Duleep Trophy. Suryakumar Yadav took to social media platform X to commend Khan’s efforts and also recognized Navdeep Saini’s contribution.
“What a knock Musheer Khan 💯👌💪🤩 Supported really well by Navdeep Saini. Duty ke baad roz practice, jitna duty utna practice 😅💪 #DuleepTrophy2024,” Yadav posted.
Suryakumar Yadav, representing India C, missed the game due to a thumb injury sustained during the Buchi Babu Invitational Tournament, which sidelined him for the first round of the Duleep Trophy.
Musheer Khan’s century came at a crucial moment when India B was under pressure from India A’s experienced bowling attack.
Despite a shaky start, Khan guided his team to a respectable total, contributing over half of their 202 runs by the end of day one. His innings was particularly impressive given the challenging conditions, as he navigated overcast skies and a seamer-friendly pitch with remarkable composure.
