Musheer hit 16 fours and five sixes during his marathon innings and formed a match-winning 205-run partnership off 403 balls for the eighth wicket with Navdeep Saini. The 19-year-old scored 154 runs out of the 205-run partnership with the Delhi pacer.
Musheer also took some sharp catches at the forward-short-leg position, showing commendable reflexes and anticipation. He couldn't trouble the scorers in the second innings but his first innings heroics were enough to put India B in a position of strength.
