Ok let's see what will Agha do on this surface as he is next batsman to came
Okay look, you're a poster that I respect so I'll explain my viewpoint fully.
I've always maintained that Value does not defeat consistency. Yes ideally if you're valuable and consistent then fantastic but even then Kohli is not called India's greatest 57 avg, he's called India greatest chaser for a reason.
Falhar zaman is your most valuable batsmen, but coming back to rizwan.
Rizwan is consistent 100%, and theirs no denying that. Stats wise he's great, But stats wise he's also superior to Santh jaysuria? And we both know that isn't true.
Babar and rizwan thrive againat such teams in such situations( Not babar anymore after 2022, but before 2022, 100%) and anytime they do, their fans commonly hail them as kings. But these so called kings do not show up when they are needed, Only exception being that 2021 India game and 2019 NZ game. 8 to 10 years for both these 2 players and that's the only thing they have to show for it.
Fakhar zaman is inconsistent but he more memorable innings and have given pakistan glory (Ct 2017), Saved them (NZ 123 of 70 for drs 400), Given respectable losses (Sa 193), Gotten them no 1 rank (91 of 46 against australia)
Now when it comes to sarfraz, Sarfraz during the game againat sri lanka where he and shafiq saved the 4 day test and won it, That was a lost game for Pakistan, and these 2 showed up and won the game from a lost position.
That game alone is superior to anything that rizwan has ever done.
A player is remembered for their value, and not their scoreboard stats.
Dhoni is remembered for taking the game deep, Finishing games and often time getting India out of a rut. He is not remembered for a 50 avg.
Same reason no gives a kahoot about Misbah despite him being the most consistent pakistan batter. Because Inzi's semi final knock is > Any 50 of 83 in losing causes that misbah has ever consistently done so.
Long story short, I've seen sarfraz cone through in tough test and odi situations for pakistan notable that 4 day sri lanka test game and ct 2017 sri lanka game(albeit that was lucky cause 2 drops)
I've yet to see that from rizzu
