India A vs India B, Duleep Trophy 2024: Musheer Khan Slams Century, Powers India B Cross 200-Run Mark

In the prestigious Duleep Trophy India A vs India B encounter, Mumbai's rising star Musheer Khan slammed a powerful century to help his team to be in a better position. At the time, when India B batters surrendered against India A's splendid bowling attack, Musheer Khan held one end and kept the scoreboard moving. In 225 balls, Musheer completed his century with help of 10 boundaries and 2 towering sixes. His strike rate was close to 46.

Musheer Khan stepped-in on the number 3 position after Capitan Abhimanyu Easwaran's dismissal. India B skipper only managed to score 13 runs off 42 balls. While the other opener Yashasvi Jaiswal managed to score 30 runs off 59 balls laced with 6 fours.

At once it loocked like that Yashasvi and Musheer will set a big partnership, but things went in the opposite direction. Wickets continued to fall after Yashasvi's dismissal. Sarfraz Khan (9), Rishabh Pant (35), Nitesh Reddy (0), Washington Sundar (0), and Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore (1) returned after scoring low personal totals and leaving the side in trouble.

Putting his best efforts, Navdeep Saini then steadied the ship along with Musheer. Navdeep notched unbeaten at 29 runs off 74 balls at the stumps.

India B scored 202/7 in 79 overs.

For India A, it was completely a pacers show. Speed kings Khaleel Ahmed, Avesh Khan and Akash Deep picked 2 wickets each to dismantle India B's middle order.
