NEW DELHI: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) made a notable error on the opening day of the Ranji Trophy 2025/26 season, involving a mix-up between Mumbai cricketers and siblings Sarfaraz Khan and Musheer Khan.
The confusion occurred during Mumbai's fixture against Jammu and Kashmir at the Sher-e-Kashmir Cricket Stadium in Srinagar. At the start of the match, the official scorecard on the BCCI website incorrectly listed Sarfaraz Khan as the opening batter, stating he was dismissed for a duck by fast bowler Auqib Nabi.
This led to confusion among fans, as Sarfaraz is traditionally a middle-order batter and not known to open the innings. It was later clarified that it was actually Musheer Khan, Sarfaraz’s younger brother, who had opened the batting and was dismissed on the third delivery of the match.
