WATCH: Musheer Khan's incredible full-length diving catch at short leg to dismiss Akash Deep in Duleep Trophy 2024

In an incredible display of athleticism, the rising star of Indian cricket, Musheer Khan, took a stunning catch in the Duleep Trophy 2024 match. His spectacular fielding effort aided in India B’s process to restrict India A from going past their first innings score of 321.

The Shubman Gill-led India A put in a collective batting effort but none of the batsmen could convert their scores into a big one. In fact, not a single batter touched the 40-run mark. They needed some contribution from the tailenders to reduce the deficit and right-arm pacer Akash Deep did a bit before being dismissed by Mukesh Kumar.

With the gate open to the lower order, India B captain Abhimanyu Easwaran decided to place a fielder at short leg position and gave the responsibility to Musheer Khan. Deep tried to flick a medium-pace delivery by Mukesh in the 72^nd over but it ended up getting an edge of the bat and hit the thigh pad.

Musheer, who was standing at short-leg, noticed the trajectory of the ball and dived full length to his left to grab the ball that was going away from him. The dismissal helped India B to quickly wrap up the innings.

Musheer fails to shine in the second innings, departs for a duck

Musheer Khan was the engineer behind India B's competitive 321 in the first innings. They were struggling at 94-7 at one stage. Musheer then played a warrior knock (181 off 373 balls) to get them out of trouble. Navdeep Saini also played a significant role with his half-century.

Meanwhile, India B are struggling in the second innings. Once again open Yashasvi Jaiswal and captain Easwaran failed to find runs. There were no heroics from Musheer either as the right-hander was dismissed for a six-ball duck. Interestingly, it was Akash Deep who took his wicket.
