A Day After Sarfaraz Got Test Call-Up, Brother Musheer Khan Slams Century vs NZ In Under-19 World Cup

A Day After Sarfaraz Got Test Call-Up, Brother Musheer Khan Slams Century vs NZ In Under-19 World Cup

This week has been pretty special for Naushad Ahmed Khan’s family. Just a day after 26-year-old Sarfaraz Khan got his maiden India Test squad call-up, 18-year-old Musheer Khan hammered a sizzling century against New Zealand in the ongoing Under-19 World Cup in South Africa.

Batting at number 3, Musheer Khan walloped 13 fours and 3 sixes in his thunderous knock of 131 runs in 126 balls against the New Zealand under-19 side in Bloemfontein in their Super Sixes matches.

This epic century from Musheer came less than 24 hours after his elder brother Sarfaraz received his maiden India call-up to the Test squad for the second Test against England, in Vizag, as the replacement of KL Rahul. With Virat Kohli also unavailable and Ravindra Jadeja injured for the second Test and India likely feeling the need to extend their batting line-up, there is a chance that both Sarfaraz Khan and Rajat Patidar could make their Test debuts in Vizag.

Talking about Musheer Khan’s century, his innings helped India post a big total of 295 runs. At the time of writing, New Zealand are struggling in their chase at a score of 59/6.

Musheer Khan

Musheer has been having a blockbuster under-19 World Cup and he is currently the leading run-scorer in the tournament. He started the tournament with innings of 118 vs Ireland U-19 and 73 against USA Under-19. This knock, though, against the Kiwi youngsters is his best dig so far.

Musheer Khan became only the second Indian batsman, after Shikhar Dhawan, to hit two centuries in a single Under-19 World Cup tournament.

Fans on Twitter erupted with joy and celebration for the success of Musheer Khan and Sarfaraz Khan:

Brothers Of Destruction: Sarfaraz – Musheer

Musheer Khan is a better batter than me: Sarfaraz Khan

Sarfaraz, who boasts of a first-class average of 69, feels his youngster brother Musheer Khan is a better batsman than he is.

“He’s a better batter than me,” Sarfaraz told ESPNcricinfo. “I’m not saying this because he’s my brother. Sometimes, I may be struggling but watching his technique and trying to work out what he’s doing would give me confidence. His mannerisms, bat flow is very good. Sometimes when I’m not batting well, I look at him and learn.”
