[Saba Sports News] Musheer Khan dominated Day 1 of the Duleep Trophy 2024 opener, rescuing India B from a precarious 94/7 with a remarkable century. His unbeaten 108-run partnership with Navdeep Saini helped India B finish the day at 202/7.
Musheer’s composed knock turned the tide for his team, securing his century with a single that prompted an enthusiastic celebration from his brother, Sarfaraz Khan, who gave him a lively ovation from the dugout.
Despite a strong start with the ball, Shubman Gill’s India A lost momentum in the third session. Akash Deep, Khaleel Ahmed, and Avesh Khan claimed two wickets each, but they couldn’t prevent Musheer and Saini from mounting a comeback.
Kuldeep Yadav struggled, conceding 50 runs in 14 overs without a wicket, especially as Axar Patel’s standout performance in another Duleep Trophy game adds pressure for the third spinner spot in the national team.
Musheer and Saini’s partnership will be key going into Day 2, while India A’s bowlers will aim to regain control.
