India’s U19 star Musheer Khan is unbothered about being U19 World Cup 2024‘s highest run-getter. The prolific batter won’t be satisfied till the team lifts the trophy. Khan is currently the highest run-getter of the tournament with 334 runs to his name.
Musheer Khan won’t be satisfied until U19 World Cup 2024 win
Speaking to ICC, Musheer said that while he was really happy about his performances, he won’t be satisfied until win the World Cup. He revealed that he had been thinking about the team going on to lift the trophy since the start of the tourney.
“I am happy with my performances but I won’t be satisfied until we win the World Cup,” Musheer said speaking to ICC. “As far as being the highest run-getter, I don’t really want to think about it.
“Since we started playing the tournament, it was only about winning the World Cup and that’s what we are focussing on. I only want to do well for the team and take the results as they come.”
‘Learnt a lot from Sarfaraz’
Khan credited his elder brother Sarfaraz for motivating him to perform well in the tournament. He stressed that his focus was on the process, similar to how his brother was just going about scoring runs as he awaited the national call-up. He revealed that Sarfaraz had told him that there was no bigger pride than representing India.
“I have learnt a lot from Sarfaraz – right from how he bats to how he is always thinking about winning the game for his team to how he builds his innings,” he added.
“Even as he was knocking on the doors of the Indian team, his focus was always on scoring runs and on the process without worrying about the result. My focus too is on the process.”
“The first thing he told me [before the U19 World Cup] was that there is no bigger pride than playing for India. He told me to enjoy myself on the field and whenever I get a chance – be it with the bat or ball – you have to pull the team up in any situation and win the game.
“He told me to play with all my heart because you are representing the country.”
