'What a knock Musheer Khan' - Suryakumar Yadav lauds Musheer Khan after magnificent century in Duleep Trophy 2024

Young Musheer Khan delivered an outstanding performance in the ongoing Duleep Trophy 2024. The 19-year-old batter's magnificent century for India B against India A at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru earned him high praise from Indian T20I captain, Suryakumar Yadav. The 2024 edition of the Duleep Trophy, which kicked off on September 5, produced moments of brilliance on the opening day. 

The young Mumbai batter reached his century in 205 balls, lacing his innings with 10 fours and two sixes. This was Khan's third First-Class century and his first in the Duleep Trophy. SKY took to social media platform X to laud the batter's efforts and also appreciated Navdeep Saini's contribution as well. 

"What a knock musheer khan 💯👌💪🤩 Supported really well by Navdeep Saini 🫡. Duty ke baad roz practice, jitna duty utna practice 😅💪 #DuleepTrophy2024," Yadav wrote.

Notably, Suryakumar Yadav representing India C was sidelined ahead of the game due to an injury sustained. Yadav, who sprained his right thumb during the Buchi Babu Invitational Tournament, found himself unable to participate in the first round of the Duleep Trophy.

Musheer Khan's innings came at a crucial juncture when India B was under pressure against an experienced India A attack. He had a nervy start and then single-handedly steered his team towards a respectable total, contributing more than half of the team's 202 runs by the end of the first day.

Khan's performance was awe-inspiring given the challenging conditions. The match began with overcast skies and on a green top wicket, favouring the seamers. Despite that, the batter kept putting relentless pressure on the opposition and continued to bat through the day.
