It is not easy to overcome the grief of losing a loved one. And, bearing that shock, to play in a competitive match. But, 20 year old Musheer Khan not only played a Ranji match against Himachal Pradesh but also scored a century in it. Musheer Khan has lost his maternal uncle. He was very close to his heart. He had many memories associated with him. Despite breaking such a huge mountain of sorrow, Musheer did not let his focus on the match waver. And, showed great spirit by scoring a century. According to the report, when Musheer Khan was doing this, Rohit Sharma was also present on the field.

Musheer Khan got the news of his maternal uncle’s death before the match.

Musheer Khan got the news of his maternal uncle’s death on November 8, even before the start of the Ranji match against Himachal Pradesh. That news definitely shook him but did not let him go away from the match. Mumbai batted first in the match played at Bandra Kurla Complex. The beginning of Mumbai was not as it was expected. Mumbai lost the wickets of batsmen like Mhatre, Rahane, Sarfaraz Khan for just 73 runs.

Sarfaraz was dismissed cheaply but Musheer scored 112 runs.

Even though Sarfaraz Khan was devastated by the news of his maternal uncle’s death, he was out after scoring only 16 runs. But his younger brother Musheer Khan wanted to do something different, which he did. Musheer Khan scored a century. Facing 162 balls, he scored 112 runs, which included 14 fours.

During this century innings, Musheer Khan did one more thing. He made a century partnership with Siddhesh Lad for the 5th wicket, which helped Mumbai out of trouble.

What did Musheer Khan say on maternal uncle’s death?

Before saying anything on his uncle’s death, Musheer Khan commented on his century. He said that his century is very special because it came after a long gap. After this he said that he was feeling very emotional about his maternal uncle’s death. Musheer became emotional and told that he remembered how he used to play in his maternal uncle’s lap. He has many memories associated with him.

Rohit Sharma watched the match sitting on the field

Rohit Sharma also reached Bandra Kurla Complex on 8th November to watch the match between Mumbai and Himachal Pradesh. This is the same ground on which Rohit also practices. But, on November 8, he had come only to support Mumbai. Obviously this must have encouraged Musheer Khan also.
