BCCI’s blunder: Sarfaraz Khan out for duck, but it was his brother Musheer ...Middle East

Sport by : (Inside sport) -

When Mumbai take the field, the eyes of Indian cricket fans often follow every ball, every run, and every name that flashes on the scorecard. Which is why what happened during Mumbai’s Ranji Trophy fixture in Srinagar has left many scratching their heads. The official BCCI scorecard showed Sarfaraz Khan dismissed for a duck, only for fans to later realize it wasn’t him but his younger brother, Musheer Khan, who had been out early.

Musheer-Sarfaraz duck mix-up

The Jammu & Kashmir is hosting 42-time Ranji Trophy champions Mumbai at the Sher E Kashmir Cricket Stadium, Srinagar in the first match of the tournament. Putting the visitors to bat first, J&K struck in the very first over. Mumbai lost Prithvi Shaw prior to the season as he switched his allegiance to Maharashtra. To fill the gap, Mumbai asked Ayush Mhatre and Musheer Khan to open the innings.

However, initially, it showed Sarfaraz Khan’s name instead of Musheer. Auqib Nabi, J&K’s premier pacer struck early as he sent back one of the Khan brothers with a caught behind. Everyone thought it was Sarfaraz, who was making his much-awaited return to red-ball cricket after missing Duleep Trophy, India A vs Australia A and the Irani Cup due to an injury.

He has worked on his fitness massively too and his return was very well anticipated. Text commentary was done, and articles were written while tweets were also posted. However, after an hour’s delay, the BCCI corrected their mistake. They changed the opener’s name to Musheer while Sarfaraz came to bat at number five.

No live streaming for Mumbai Ranji Trophy match

The blunder might have been easier to forgive had there been video coverage from the Sher-i-Kashmir Stadium. But with no live stream and limited local reporting, the wrong update stood uncorrected for hours. Sarfaraz, who’s been fighting to return to the Indian Test setup, suddenly found himself trending for the wrong reason with fans questioning his “duck” before realising it wasn’t even his dismissal.

It’s a strange look for Indian domestic cricket at a time when technology should be its strongest suits. The Ranji Trophy remains India’s proudest domestic competition, yet moments like these show how far its presentation still lags. When the most successful team in history plays, fans deserve clarity, not confusion. And when the BCCI can broadcast countless franchise leagues across formats, the least it can do is ensure the country’s oldest tournament gets its basics right.
