Musheer Khan made his debut in the prestigious Indian Premier League (IPL) today, on May 29, 2025, against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in Qualifier 1 at the Mullanpur Stadium in Chandigarh. However, it was a disappointing debut for him, as his innings was short-lived.
He faced just three balls and was dismissed for a duck. He was adjudged leg before wicket (LBW), with Suyash Sharma claiming his wicket. Though Musheer came in as an impact substitute, he could not make any significant impact on the game.
