Mumbai batter and Sarfaraz Khan’s brother, Musheer Khan, has suffered an unfortunate break in his cricket career. He was involved in a road accident while travelling through the road in Uttar Pradesh. Musheer has been in sensational form, of late, and hence this injury will come as a big setback to his career.
Just when he was about to shine in the Irani Cup, life throws a curveball with this car accident. From what’s buzzing around, especially from sources like the Times of India, it seems Musheer and his dad, Naushad Khan, were on their way to Lucknow, probably all pumped up for the match, when things took a nasty turn.
Now, instead of facing off against the Rest of India, Musheer’s facing a recovery period.
Musheer Khan has been in sensational form of late
It’s pretty gut-wrenching, especially since he and his dad weren’t even with the team; they were making their own journey to the game. Lucknow was set to be the stage for Mumbai’s showdown, but for Musheer, it turned into a different kind of battlefield. No official word yet on just how long he’ll be sidelined, but missing out on this match is already a big deal.
“He didn’t travel with the Mumbai team to Lucknow for the Irani Cup. He was probably travelling from Azamgarh, with his father, to Lucknow when the accident happened,” a source reportedly said.
Musheer was sensational in the Duleep Trophy and scored a century on his debut in the tournament. Musheer, with his brother, stitched together a sublime partnership and delivered the goods for his team.
He came into the spotlight with his displays in the U-19 World Cup and since then, he has impressed everyone with his performances in the domestic circuit. So, this accident will definitely dent the growth in his career for the time being. Hope he recovers soon from it.
