Musheer’s remarkable athleticism was on full display when he ran out Akash Deep with an incredible underarm throw from short leg, a pivotal moment in the game.
Akash Deep had fended off a bouncer from Navdeep Saini but wandered out of his crease, unaware that the ball had landed near Musheer.
In a flash, Musheer picked up the ball and, with pinpoint accuracy, threw it at the stumps, catching Akash well out of his crease. The dismissal effectively sealed India A’s fate, as they were bundled out for 198, chasing 275.
Watch:
This performance not only helped India B secure a 76-run victory but also highlighted Musheer’s growing stature as a fielding powerhouse.
Sarfaraz Khan, who was also on the field, celebrated his younger brother’s brilliance by grabbing Musheer’s hand and lifting it high in the air—a proud, public display of brotherhood.
Earlier in this match, Musheer Khan scored 181 runs in India B’s match against India A. The 19-year-old’s composed and dominant knock, which came off 373 deliveries, was crucial in lifting India B to a first-innings total of 321, especially as wickets fell around him.
Musheer’s 205-run partnership with Navdeep Saini for the eighth wicket set a tournament record, and his innings now ranks third on the list of highest scores by a teenager in Duleep Trophy history, surpassing Sachin Tendulkar’s 159.
