Pakistan cricket team wicket-keeper and batsman Muhammad Rizwan showed a tremendous performance throughout the T20 world cup 2021 series. And fans are calling him true warrior after yesterday’s Semi-Final match.
After a continuous winning streak of 5 matches Pakistan cricket team reached the Semi-Final of the T20 world cup. Hard Luck, We didn’t win the match against Australia but our players gave them a tough time. And we are proud of them for giving us amazing and exciting matches throughout the series.
Muhammad Rizwan’s performance was brilliant throughout the series but in the semi-final, he won the hearts of all the cricket lovers. He spent two nights in the hospital with a severe chest infection before the match against Australia. After getting better he played the Semi-final and scored 67 runs on 52 balls with 4 sixes and 3 boundaries. Not only this, Wicketkeeper Rizwan became the only batter to have scored 1,000 T20 runs in a calendar year. It took him 20 innings to achieve the feat.
Even Cricket Australia wondered how Rizwan showed no signs of illness when he smoked four sixes and three fours to top-score against them.
This is unreal. No wonder Matthew Hayden called him a warrior. Huge respect for Mohammad Rizwan who spent two nights before the #T20WorldCup semi-final in ICU – then top-scored with 67! https://t.co/YLfJOGFmUO pic.twitter.com/2ztPUsuuWF
