  "account": "Mumbai's Musheer Khan made cricketing history by achieving a rare all-round feat, scoring a century and taking five or more wickets in a single Ranji Trophy match. The 21-year-old all-rounder penned his name into domestic cricket history against Haryana at the Mumbai Cricket Association's Bandra-Kurla Complex ground on Wednesday. Following his first-innings century, Musheer registered a career-best six-wicket haul, putting Mumbai in a strong position at stumps on the third day of the four-day contest.\n\nIn the first innings, Haryana scored 270 runs for the loss of eight wickets, thanks to Musheer's impressive bowling figures of 6 for 85, including seven maidens from 31 overs. Mumbai's skipper, Siddhesh Lad, enforced the follow-on, aiming to secure an outright victory and maximize points from the contest. Musheer shouldered the bulk of Mumbai's bowling workload for the first time and delivered a stellar performance, contributing to the team's momentum.\n\nIn the second innings, Haryana reached 73 for 2 in their second innings at stumps, trailing Mumbai by 87 runs with eight wickets remaining. Musheer and Tanush Kotian each claimed a wicket to keep Mumbai in control. Sindhu, who remained unbeaten throughout Haryana's first innings, continued to provide resistance with a patient 22 off 59 deliveries.\n\nEarlier, Musheer combined with Dheeru Singh to frustrate Mumbai's bowlers, but Musheer broke their 94-run partnership by dismissing Dheeru, setting the stage for a dramatic collapse. Haryana's problems deepened in the second innings when opener Himanshu Rana was injured and retired hurt. Additionally, an unfortunate incident saw Himanshu Rana retire hurt after being struck on the helmet by a delivery from Sylvester D’Souza.\n\nWith the pitch showing signs of wear and offering occasional turn and uneven bounce, Mumbai will capitalize on the conditions on the final day to secure an outright victory and clinch maximum points from the contest.",
