During the 46th over at Mangaung Oval in Bloemfontein, Musheer unleashed the helicopter shot against right-arm fast bowler Mason Clarke’s slower delivery, sending the ball soaring over deep mid-wicket for a colossal six. This outstanding performance also marked Musheer as the second Indian batter to score multiple centuries in a single U19 World Cup edition, following in the footsteps of Shikhar Dhawan’s three centuries in 2004.
Musheer Khan’s dynamic display not only secured a significant win for India but also showcased his prowess as a rising cricket sensation in the U19 cricketing landscape.
