Remember the name Musheer Khan. This junior batsman from Mumbai simply put up an amazing performance in the Ranji Trophy scoring a whopping double hundred runs in a single inning. The 200 runs puts Mumbai in a commanding position against Baroda.

Things didn’t look too good for Mumbai as Musheer made it all the way to the crease. They lost half their team for just 142 runs. That’s like being down by 6 wickets and now there aren’t many runs on the board. But Musheer, the young hero, stepped up to the enterprise.
He couldn’t just play carefully, he went on the attack. He smashes 18 boundaries, which are like those big photos that go over the rope. Imagine smashing 18 of them in a single inning.
But Musheer didn’t just hit big shots, he also displayed some smart cricket. He knew he had to stay in the crease for a long time to help his team improve. And he did exactly that. He patiently built his inning, run over run, over by over.
And it paid off! Musheer Khan is not only the most effective now, he has scored a double century, but he has additionally stitched together a vital partnership with another batsman named Hardik Tamore. They combined for 181 runs for the 6th wicket, giving Mumbai a robust function in health once again.
This is not always the first time Musheer has shown his skills. He became India’s second-highest run-scorer in the recent Under-19 World Cup, which is a huge offer for any young cricketer. So it is clear that this young man has strong abilities.
And to add to the excitement, Musheer’s success comes simply after his brother Sarfaraz Khan made his Test debut for India. Talk about a handy family.
Musheer Khan is just 18 years old, Yesterday he smashed his maiden first-class hundred and today he smashed his maiden first-class double hundred in the Ranji Trophy Quarters. 🔥🔥👏
He is making huge steps in cricket, Well done Musheer. 🌟👌#MusheerKhan #RanjiTrophy pic.twitter.com/5lklaYkHcW
