Musheer Khan: You are recognised as a batter in Mumbai only if you convert starts into hundreds
· Sports · Sportstar, Indian Express
Mumbai all-rounder Musheer Khan expressed dissatisfaction with his conversion rate despite scoring a century against Haryana in the Ranji Trophy Group D clash at the Sharad Pawar Academy ground. Musheer scored 109 runs to help Mumbai post a first-innings total of 430, marking his fifth first-class hundred. The promising batter noted that Mumbai cricket demands converting starts into hundreds rather than settling for fifties, citing his earlier scores of 65 against Chandigarh and 57 against Himachal Pradesh. In addition to his batting performance, Musheer contributed with his conventional left-arm spin by dismissing both Haryana openers towards the end of the second day. He described his bowling responsibility as a supporting and containment role alongside Shams Mulani and Tanush Kotian.
