The Duleep Trophy 2024 is kicking off in Anantapur, and the tournament is already showcasing some standout performances. Among the highlights is Mushir Khan, who represents India B and has made an impressive debut in this year’s competition. Although his elder brother, Sarfaraz Khan, also playing for India B, faced a difficult start, Mushir’s performance has been a beacon of hope.
Sarfaraz struggled in his first match, scoring just 9 runs off 35 balls. Despite his own challenges, he expressed great pride in his younger brother’s success. Mushir Khan, on the other hand, delivered an exceptional performance by scoring the first century of the tournament. His innings of 100 runs, achieved off 205 balls, was decorated with 10 fours and 2 sixes, showcasing his batting prowess and composure. This century is Mushir’s third in first-class cricket and marks a significant milestone in his debut Duleep Trophy campaign.

At just 19 years old, Mushir Khan’s performance has been impressive. His innings displayed the maturity and skill of a seasoned batsman, far beyond his years. Born in Kurla, Mushir is an all-rounder who has already demonstrated his capabilities with both bat and ball. Over his 6 first-class matches so far, he has amassed 529 runs in 10 innings, including a notable double century. In the Ranji Trophy quarter-finals against Baroda, he played an unbeaten innings of 203 runs, and he continued his strong form with a century in the first innings of the Duleep Trophy final.
Mushir’s achievements reflect his potential and readiness for higher levels of competition, while Sarfaraz’s support highlights the strong family bond and encouragement between the two cricketers.
