The 19-year-old Musheer Khan of Team India B smashed a beautiful century in the ongoing Duleep Trophy 2024 against Team India A at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. The century came at a perfect time when his team was losing wickets from one end. He stood there like a lone wolf and tackled the tricky balls to get to his century in 204 balls. The best gesture was shown by his older brother, Sarfaraz Khan, who was standing in the dugout and cheering for his brother.

Team India B were 94 for seven in 43.5 overs when Navdeep Saini walked in and supported the young Musheer. Since then, the game's momentum changed in their favour, and the runs started flowing easily. Saini is playing on 29 runs off 73 balls, including three boundaries and one six. The pacers troubled the middle order, resulting in the total collapse of the middle order. Moreover, two batters, Nitish Reddy and Washington Sundar, were out for a duck.

Watch how Sarfaraz celebrated his brother's century:

While the pitch favoured the bowlers more, Musheer's innings proved to be outstanding. He showed true spirit while facing the deadly and experienced pacers coming at him throughout the game. He hit 10 boundaries and two sixes in his innings, which were huge and eye-catching. The young star has been terrific throughout his domestic career and will be eyeing an opportunity in the upcoming Bangladesh series.
