Musheer Khan hits maiden double hundred to rescue Mumbai in quarters

The match also marked Musheer’s first First-Class game in over a year since January 2023. In three FC matches before this game, Musheer had totalled 96 runs from five innings with a best of 42.

At 18 years 362 days, Musheer also became the second youngest Bombay/Mumbai batter to record a Ranji Trophy double hundred. Wasim Jaffer holds the overall record among Mumbai batters, having struck a double hundred aged 18 years, 262 days against Saurashtra in the 1996-97 Ranji Trophy season.

Musheer remained unbeaten on 203 off 357 deliveries before Baroda spinner Bhargav Bhatt’s career-best figures of 7 for 112 bundled the home side. The young sensation, who is the younger brother of Sarfaraz Khan, was a toast of the young talent on display in the recently-concluded Under 19 in World Cup.
