An unbeaten double hundred in the quarterfinal. A crucial fifty in the semifinal. And a patient century in the summit clash. The fact that the same youngster had been dropped from Mumbai’s Ranji Trophy squad after tallying 96 runs in five innings makes Musheer Khan’s achievement over the last four weeks even more commendable.
While the 19-year-old is thrilled with playing a lion’s share in helping his team regain the Ranji Trophy after eight years, he has no qualms in admitting the knock that takes the case.
“The double hundred in the quarterfinal is memorable, it was my comeback also, but the hundred in the final is even more important,” Musheer told The Hindu. “It was the final, the team wanted me to occupy the crease and I am so glad I could deliver.”
