Musheer Khan, a young batsman, said that Rishabh Pant’s guidance enabled him to meet the challenge presented by Kuldeep Yadav, the great spinner, during his crucial century in the Duleep Trophy. India B was saved from certain defeat by Musheer’s undefeated 105, and he disclosed that Shubman Gill and Pant had given him advice on how to counter Kuldeep’s left-arm wrist spin.

Musheer, looking back on his innings, explained that his strategy was to play near to the body, particularly when the ball was moving a lot under cloud cover. “I wanted to bat without thinking about the runs as long as possible. To avoid taking chances, I was concentrating on playing each session as it came up and keeping the ball close to my body. During the press conference after the game, Musheer said, “I knew the runs would come eventually.”

Musheer Performance and Preservance

Musheer’s performance against left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav, against whom he hit five of his 10 boundaries, including two back-to-back smashes down the ground, was crucial. Musheer credited the guidance of more experienced players like Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant for his accomplishment. This is my second encounter with Kuldeep bhai. I gained insight into which of Kuldeep’s deliveries would be successful and which ones I could score off from Rishabh bhai and Shubman bhai. Batting got easy after I got situated,” he remarked.

The Mumbai teenager, 19, also underlined the educational opportunities that the Duleep Trophy offers. It’s a fantastic experience to play with and against more experienced players. I’m improving as a cricket player by seeing their attitude, self-assurance, and preparation,” Musheer said.
