Young Mumbai Cricketer Musheer Khan Smashes Sachin Tendulkar’s Record in Ranji Trophy Final
Reported by Harsh Kumar
In a thrilling showdown at the iconic Wankhede Stadium, rising star Musheer Khan has made history in the ongoing Ranji Trophy final against Vidarbha. At just 19 years old, Musheer, who happens to be the younger brother of Indian cricketer Sarfaraz Khan, displayed incredible talent and composure by scoring a century in Mumbai’s second innings.
This remarkable achievement now places Musheer as the youngest batsman from his team to achieve such a feat in a Ranji final, surpassing the legendary Sachin Tendulkar‘s previous record set at the age of 21. Tendulkar’s memorable 140 against Punjab in the 1994-95 Ranji Trophy final had held strong for nearly three decades until Musheer’s historic knock.
Facing the formidable Vidarbha attack, Musheer showcased maturity beyond his years, patiently accumulating runs before reaching the coveted three-figure mark after negotiating 255 deliveries. The presence of Tendulkar himself at the venue to witness the proceedings of Day 3 added an extra layer of excitement and prestige to Musheer’s accomplishment.
This outstanding performance by Musheer Khan is a testament to his talent and potential, and it certainly adds a new chapter to the illustrious history of Mumbai cricket.
