Rizwan takes break from match to offer prayers

February 13, 2021 09:24 PM


Pakistan’s wicketkeeper batsman Muhammad Rizwan is continuing to impress the cricketing circles and fans with rich form both with willow and behind the stumps.

As he is on a record-making spree on the field, he yet achieved another milestone on the cricket ground by asking umpires to stop the match and he offered Maghrib prayers.

He became the first-ever batsman to do so and has won a lot of love and respect from fans for this gesture that is quite enlightening for the Pakistani youth who follows the cricketing starts whole-heartedly.

As Rizwan was offering the prayers, the South African players and umpires stood beside to watch him and the ground staff continued to dry the ground.

When the match resumed, Rizwan completed his 50 in 39 balls and with that he achieved another milestone. Rizwan became the first Pakistan opener to score three consecutive 50-plus scores that also included a 100 that he smashed in the first Twenty20.

Rizwan's 100 in first Twenty20 match against South Africa was second for Pakistan in the shortest version of the game after Ahmad Shahzad and he also became second Pakistani batsman to score centuries in all three formats of the game.

He also became the only second wicketkeeper in the world to hit tons in all three formats after New Zealand’s former skipper Brendon McCullum.
