6 for 31! Musheer Khan scripts dream red-ball return after scoring century
Bristol
: Continuing his dream comeback in red-ball cricket, promising all-rounder Musheer Khan followed up his century (123) on Day One with a haul of six for 31 in 8.2 overs with his left-arm spin on Day Two for the MCA Colts in their tour opener against Notts 2nd XI at the John Fretwell Sports Complex, Welbeck CC, on Tuesday.
Musheer's fabulous spell helped the MCA Colts skittle out Notts 2nd XI for just 201 in 42.2 overs and gain a massive 247-run first innings lead. Earlier, the visitors, riding on centuries by Musheer and Manan Bhatt, finished at 448 .
A promising allrounder, Musheer was playing his first competitive red-ball match after surviving a horrific car crash in September last year. It is the 20-year-old's first appearance in Mumbai colours since his serious neck injury in that accident.
The Mumbai youngster last played a red-ball match for India B against India D in the Duleep Trophy at Anantapur, and was poised to tour Australia with the India A team before he met with an accident that ruled him out for the rest of the domestic season.

Ranji Trophy
final last year in March against Vidarbha at the Wankhede Stadium.

Jim Kelly ranks top 15 all-time Super Bowl era QBs, surpassing NFL icons (Image via: Getty Images) Jim Kelly was recently ranked No. 15 among the Top 30 quarterbacks of the Super Bowl era, ahead of Lamar Jackson, Bart Starr, and Warren Moon. While the Buffalo Bills legend never won a Super Bowl, his role in shaping modern NFL offense and leading four straight Super Bowl runs makes his legacy one of the league's most impactful. What makes Jim Kelly a top 15 quarterback of the Super Bowl era During the 1990s, the Buffalo Bills built one of the most consistent teams in NFL history. Under center for their unforgettable run was Jim Kelly, a quarterback known for toughness, leadership, and innovation. Kelly led the Bills to four straight Super Bowl appearances from 1990 to 1993, an NFL record that still hasn't been matched. A 13-person expert panel recently ranked the top quarterbacks of the Super Bowl era, and Kelly came in at No. 15. That ranking speaks volumes, considering he was placed ahead of MVPs and Hall of Famers. Tyler Dunne of Go Long, who contributed to the rankings, praised Kelly for changing the sport with his no-huddle, up-tempo K-Gun offense. He described Kelly as a quarterback who could read defenses in seconds and make difficult throws look effortless, even in harsh Buffalo weather. Kelly's regular season record from 1990 to 1993 was 48-13. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Urologists Urge Men To Try This Breakthrough for ED Bring Back Fast Read More Undo While he fell short in each of his four Super Bowl appearances, the fact that he reached the big game in four consecutive seasons remains one of the most impressive achievements in NFL history.

If the Chiefs fail to make it to the Super Bowl this season, Kelly's feat may never be equaled.

Hon'ble Chief Minister of Jharkhand Mr Hemant Soren has given instructions for all kinds of treatment and Hon'ble Sports Minister of Jharkhand has visited the hospital to meet Bimal Lakra to learn about his health."
