“We are going to enjoy PSL; it's a big tournament for us. We couldn't do well in Champions Trophy; hopefully we will do well in PSL”: Mohammad Rizwan

[SportsWarrior]

Rizwan makes the Pakistan team because of his glove work. He's a top wicket keeper however he has no business batting in the top order. He should be used the same way India used Dinesh Karthik in the 2022 WT20 i.e. hide him at 8 before the tail enders come in.

Dinesh Karthik was a much more capable batter with ability to all around the wicket. He was considered a future star from young age. He is unlucky that his career coincided with that of Dhoni.

Really, that is stupid thing to say from a commercial entity. These guys have to learn to deal with that have invested in. When you invest in average players you reap average results. Rizwan is not a good t20 player. He wastes too many deliveries at the top of the innings and his high average is a net negative for every team he plays.

I agree bro. This was not said in any way to disrespect the Indian wicket-keeper. I have been watching cricket since 2000 so I have followed his whole career and there's no doubt that he's better than any wicket-keeper batsman that Pakistan has produced.

The reason I used this example was because during the 2022 WT20 he was 37 years old and well and truly past it as a batsman. India played him as pure wicket-keeper and hid him at 7 or 8 before the tail. This is how Pakistan should look to utilise Rizwan if they are unable to find a solid wicket-keeper who can bat better than him.

If you have Chacha on your team and Misbah mentality. You won’t win next 50 psl matches.

Ali Tareen has kept a manchild like him as an admin of his team's X handle

Enjoyment ended a bit early, was looking great. Clean. Bowled. Gone. Rizwan walks back for 32(17) against Lahore Qalandars in PSL X

Mohammad Rizwan at the post-match presentation:

"In the last three matches, fielding was an area where we were lacking, but today we really stepped up. We had posted 235 earlier and now 228, but the execution was far more polished this time.

We created momentum early on—usually, Usman provides that spark, but today Yasir took charge brilliantly. Our bowlers were spot on too. They’re mostly newcomers to the PSL, and that inexperience can be challenging. That’s why I decided not to keep wickets today—it gave me a better chance to guide them on the field. I’ve been doing that for the past couple of years, and it really helps build confidence and control in the game."
