In the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy (Elite Group C) in Jaipur, Mumbai have remained on top with four straight wins and the Khan brothers have been central to that surge.They underlined their impact with the bat against Uttarakhand and then Goa. Sarfaraz’s blistering 157 off 75 balls against Goa – with 14 sixes – lit up the contest as Mumbai amassed a massive 444/8 to seal an 87-run win.

Which brother do you think contributes more to their team’s success?
Speaking to TOI after the match in Goa, Sarfaraz opened up about the bond he shares with his younger brother. “We have played together for years so we understand each other really well. We learn from each other’s successes and failures. Even though he is much younger, Musheer’s leadership matters because he thinks differently. He is smart and always gives his best,” Sarfaraz said.Sarfaraz, who endured a rough patch in the Ranji Trophy, responded with productive outings in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and now the Vijay Hazare Trophy.Musheer, 20, was equally composed, scoring runs and hitting wickets with left-arm spin. “When we are in the middle, we always talk about how to handle the bowler or the pace of the innings. Musheer always tells me something or the other. Sometimes I get angry but I never take his suggestions lightly. And I also gave him advice when he was not doing well,” Sarfaraz added.The 28-year-old player is not looking too far ahead. If anything, the mission seems simple: keep scoring, keep winning and keep the Khan show going.
