Musheer Khan: The rising star

Musheer, a promising talent from Mumbai, has recently made headlines not just for his cricketing skills but also for his infectious personality. At just 20 years old, he is poised to make his IPL debut with Punjab Kings after a remarkable journey that includes overcoming significant personal challenges. Musheer’s rise to prominence in cricket has been meteoric, especially following his impressive performances in domestic circuits, which earned him a spot in the IPL auction where he was picked up for ₹30 lakhs.

Musheer’s journey has not been without its hurdles. Last year, he suffered a near-fatal accident that left him with a neck injury, forcing him to watch cricket from his home while he recovered. Reflecting on this tough phase, Musheer shared in a interview with Sportstar, “Since I could not move my neck and had to be mostly bed-ridden… my world revolved around the game.” His determination and passion for cricket kept him focused during recovery, and now he is ready to take the field once again.

Shreyas: The skipper with a price tag

Shreyas’ journey to becoming one of the most expensive players in IPL history is another captivating story. Acquired by Punjab Kings for ₹26.75 crore during the mega auction, his transition from Kolkata Knight Riders to Punjab has been a significant shift in his career. Despite leading KKR to their third title last season, he was surprisingly released, making his acquisition by Punjab all the more noteworthy.

Shreyas’ leadership will be crucial as Punjab Kings aim to turn their fortunes around this season. With head coach Ricky Ponting at the helm, there is an air of optimism surrounding the team. Musheer has expressed admiration for Shreyas’ positive attitude and leadership style, stating that he observed Shreyas closely during their time together in domestic cricket.

As IPL 2025 kicks off today with Punjab Kings facing off against Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad, all eyes will be on both Musheer and Shreyas. The match will serve as an opportunity for Musheer to showcase his skills on a grand stage while under the guidance of experienced players like Shreyas and Ponting.
