On Day 2 of the Ranji Trophy quarterfinal match between Mumbai and Baroda, teenage cricket phenom Musheer Khan produced his first-ever first-class double hundred to save the day for Mumbai.

The ground, which is infamous for its red dirt, was a difficult task, but Baroda’s seasoned left-arm spinner Bhargav Bhatt took advantage of the circumstances and made the ball hiss around from the very first session.

Batting at number three, Musheer Khan shown maturity above his years. Against a formidable opposition, he anchored Mumbai’s innings with his maiden first-class hundred, a brilliant unbeaten century.

Musheer’s technique, composure, and pure willpower allowed him to reach his double century off 350 balls and score 18 boundaries. Mumbai emerged from turbulent waters with a more reasonable position of 248 for five at the end of play on the first day thanks in large part to Musheer’s effort.

It is impossible to overestimate the impact of Musheer Khan’s innings. Musheer’s knock came at a time when Mumbai had already lost a number of important batsmen to Bhargav Bhatt’s spin, including Prithvi Shaw, Bhupen Lalwani, and Ajinkya Rahane.

Along with steadying the innings, he also forged important alliances, most notably a 43-run partnership with Suryansh Shedge and an undefeated 106-run partnership with Hardik Tamore, who contributed a useful thirty not out off sixteen3 balls.


Musheer Khan has a bright future ahead of him in Indian cricket, as demonstrated by his performance in this quarter-final match. His innings showed that he could adjust to the environment and the demands of the game by combining caution with aggression.

Musheer’s double century struck out as a remarkable effort that not only saved his side but also made him known as a player capable of reversing the tide in high-pressure circumstances as Mumbai attempted to add to their first innings total.
