Cricinfo Profile
Medium-pacer Musavir Khote was, by Indian standards, a late bloomer- he was almost 26 before he made the Mumbai side for the Ranji one-dayers in 2006. He switched over to Railways in the 2007-08 season to get more opportunities in four-day games, but not before he had impressed with some hard-hitting cameos for Mumbai in the Inter-State Twenty20 in April 2007. Those performances convinced Mumbai Indians to sign him on for the Indian Premier League.

Musavir Khote, a medium-pacer was a slow learner as per Indian standards; as he started playing one-day matches (in Ranji Trophy) at the age of 26. These matches were played for Mumbai. Apart from Mumbai, Musavir has also played for Railways. This person is a right-handed player.

Musavir Khote entered the arena of fast-cricket on 3rd of April, 2007 in a Twenty20 match played against Baroda at Mumbai. He could pick a wicket in this match. Mumbai had won it by 8 wickets, with 23 balls to spare. As far as IPL is concerned, Musavir played against Deccan Chargers on 27th of April, 2008 at Mumbai. This day-night match went in to the kitty of Deccan Chargers. They won it by 10 wickets, with 48 balls to spare. In this match, Khote made ’34 not out’ in 18 balls out of the total of 154.

Khote made ’34 not out’ in 18 balls out of the total of 154. Really?. Well, he made 7 off 10 balls while Dwayne Bravo scored 34 off 18. Here's proof: http://www.cricinfo.com/ipl/engine/match/335994.html

That game also happened to be Khote's last for Mumbai. He played for Railways in a one-dayer earlier this year.
