The youngster has come a long way since delivering some fine performances in the ICC Under-19 World Cup in 2024 where he scored 360 runs to become the second-highest run-scorer.
His innings came to an end thanks to the experienced Kuldeep Yadav who got the batter to go aggressive against him. The left-arm wrist-spinner took that to his advantage and caused Musheer to mistime a shot which fell onto the hands of Riyan Parag at the deep.
