Musheer Khan, the brother of Indian cricket star Sarfaraz Khan, has been injured in a road accident. He suffered significant injuries to his neck while traveling with his father, Naushad Khan, from Azamgarh to Lucknow when the incident occurred. The exact cause of the accident is not yet clear, but sources indicate that the car flipped 4-5 times, resulting in serious injuries to Musheer.
As a result, Musheer is likely to be out of cricket action for at least six weeks, and his return could take up to three months. This injury will definitely rule him out of the Irani Trophy. The Khan family is originally from Azamgarh in Uttar Pradesh, with their village, Basupar, located in the Sadhgadhi tehsil.
Outstanding Debut in Duleep Trophy
Musheer made a remarkable impact in his debut at the Duleep Trophy 2024, scoring 181 runs for India B against India A. He faced 373 balls and hit 16 fours and 5 sixes. This score is the third-highest for a teenager (under 20 years) on debut in the Duleep Trophy, surpassing the legendary Sachin Tendulkar’s debut score of 159 in 1991. The top score for a debut teenager is held by Baba Aparajith, who scored 212, followed by Yash Dhull with 193 runs.

Impressive Performance in Under-19 World Cup
Musheer also had an impressive run in the Under-19 World Cup 2024, scoring 360 runs at an average of 60 across 7 matches, along with taking 7 wickets. At just 19 years old, he is considered a significant prospect for India’s future and could fit into the role of an all-rounder.
Competing in domestic cricket for Mumbai, Musheer has played 9 first-class matches, scoring 716 runs at an average of 51.14, including 3 centuries and 1 half-century, with a highest score of 203 not out. He has also made an impact with the ball, taking a total of 8 wickets. Musheer’s elder brother, Sarfaraz, is currently part of the Indian team for the ongoing Test match against Bangladesh in Kanpur, though he has not been included in the playing XI.
