Musheer Khan continued his rich vein of form in the ongoing U-19 World Cup as he slammed a stunning hundred to script India’s thumping 214-run victory over New Zealand in Bloemfontein on Tuesday (January 30).

Musheer, the younger brother of prolific Mumbai batter Sarfaraz Khan, came into this match on the back of a superb century (118) against Ireland and a steady knock of 73 versus USA.

The right-hander took his batting a notch higher in the Super Six match against New Zealand U-19, scoring 131 off 126 balls to propel India U-19 to 295/8 in 50 overs. His knock was studded with 13 fours and 3 sixes.

The highlight of his innings was the helicopter shot he executed for a gigantic six. The stroke reminded everyone of the legendary India captain MS Dhoni, who was a fine exponent of this shot in his heydays.

During the 46th over of India's innings, right-arm pacer Mason Clarke bowled a slower delivery into the slot and Musheer went for the full-blooded swing, depositing the ball over deep mid-wicket for half a dozen.

The 18-year-old held the pose after playing the shot as cameras captured his artistry perfectly.

Here’s the video:

Coming to the match, New Zealand’s innings folded for 81 in 28.1 overs during the chase. It was a listless batting performance as no one managed to touch the 20-run mark.

Saumy Pandey starred with the ball for India, returning with the figures of 4/19 in his 10 overs. Musheer Khan rounded off a great day with two wickets as well and won the Player-of-the-Match award.
