It is understood that 19-year-old Musheer Khan, who has had a dream first-class season, is all set to travel to Australia for the India A shadow tour, which will have three 'four-day' Tests.

All-rounder Musheer Khan said he knew about getting an opportunity to perform in the tournament after doing well in Ranji Trophy.

KL Rahul batted out 180 minutes 121 balls and milked 42 runs for the seventh wicket with Kuldeep Yadav to delay the inevitable.

Musheer's fifth and final six, off the bowling of Kuldeep Yadav, matched something that India's Test and ODI captain can brag about as well.
