Mumbai Overcomes Difficult Situation
After Sarfaraz Khan (16), who is vying for a place in the Indian team, was dismissed early, Mumbai was struggling at 73/4. The pressure was mounting on the team. It was at this crucial juncture that Musheer Khan and Siddhesh Lad forged a vital 157-run partnership for the fifth wicket, providing stability to Mumbai’s innings.
Musheer and Lad’s Superb Partnership
Musheer Khan scored 112 runs off 162 balls, including 14 fours. Siddhesh Lad played a composed, unbeaten innings of 100 runs off 207 balls, hitting 12 fours and 1 six. This partnership between the two batsmen put Mumbai in a strong position in the match.
Musheer’s Tears After Scoring a Century
This match was an emotional one for Musheer Khan. He received the news of his uncle’s death just before heading out to the field in the morning. After completing his century, when he raised his bat, tears welled up in his eyes. He said, “This century has come after a long time. I was very emotional after my uncle’s passing; I have many memories associated with him.” This was his fourth first-class century.
Musheer’s Special Connection with the MCA Ground
Musheer Khan has a deep connection with the MCA Ground. He made his first-class debut for Mumbai against Saurashtra at this very ground in December 2022. In the 2024-25 Ranji season, he performed brilliantly – scoring 203 and 55 runs in the quarter-final against Baroda, and contributing 55 runs and taking 2 wickets in the semi-final against Tamil Nadu, playing a crucial role in taking the team to the final.
