[Watch] Vivek Razdan’s poetry for centurion Musheer Khan goes viral in Ranji Trophy final

Former India cricketer Vivek Razdan turned poetic for centurion Musheer Khan, younger brother of Sarfaraz Khan, on Day 3 of the Ranji Trophy final between Mumbai and Vidarbha at Wankhede Stadium on Tuesday, March 12.

The cricketer-turned-commentator dedicated a poem to Musheer for his extraordinary performance for Mumbai in the summit clash.

The reaction came as Musheer took a double off Yash Thakur to reach his century and continue his sublime form following the recently concluded U19 World Cup. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) shared a video on X (formerly Twitter, where Razdan credited Musheer for his stellar show with the bat. The latter said:

"Sitaron kea age jahan aur bhi hain, Is khel ke imtehan aur bhi hain, Tu Shaheen hai, Parvaaz hai kaam tera, Arey tere saamne aasman abhi aur bhi hain."

Here’s the translated version:

"Where there are others ahead of the stars, there are more tests in this game, you are a royal person and it's your duty to do so, there are still more skies in front of you."
