South African left-arm chinaman, Tabraiz Shamsi, showered praises on Pakistan wicket-keeper batsman, Mohammad Rizwan, for his magnificent half-century in the first T20I against Zimbabwe. Shamsi jokingly said that Rizwan should give some other batsmen a chance to score runs as well, as they have to make a living too.
Shamsi replied to a tweet by the official account of Pakistan Cricket, which revealed that Rizwan was announced as the player of the match in the first T20I.

Rizwan is in the form of his life and has been piling on the runs across all formats over the past couple of years. He recently faced Shamsi in Pakistan’s limited-overs tour of South Africa. Rizwan finished among the top scorers in the T20I series, scoring 147 runs in the 4 T20Is, including two magnificent half-centuries.

He was also named as one of the Cricketers of the Year by Wisden for his magnificent performances in the past year.
