‘He Was in the Hospital Last Two Days’: Shoaib Akhtar Lauds Rizwan’s Semi-final Knock, Calls Him a ‘Hero’

After losing the semi-finals, Pakistan may have been eliminated from the 2021 T20 World Cup, but their journey into the knockout stage is perfect. The team led by Babar Azam won all the matches until Australia defeated them by five wickets in Dubai on Thursday. One of the superstars of the Pakistan cricket team is Mohamed Rizwan. The goalkeeper batsman scored 281 points in 6 games, breaking three and a half centuries in the game. He is also the second-highest runner in the 2021 T20 World Cup, second only to his captain Babar Azam (303 times).

Rizwan also played his best in the semifinals. With the help of 4 six-pointers and 3 boundaries, he scored the highest score with 52 goals 67 because Pakistan set a challenging 177 run goal for the Australians. Although his knock on the door was overshadowed by Matthew Wade’s heroism, Rizwan’s dedication and sportsmanship deserve high praise.

According to reports, he has a serious chest infection and needs medical attention. Former speed legend Shoaib Akhtar shared a photo of 29-year-old hospitalization on Twitter. “You can imagine this man playing for his country today and doing his best. He was in the hospital two days ago.

Very respectful @iMRizwanPak. Hero,” Akhtar wrote on Twitter. Before the game began, people were worried about the availability of Rizwan due to his health, and Pakistani batting consultant Matthew Hayden later confirmed that the goalkeeper hitter was due to “lung conditions”.

“Mohammad Rizwan had some kind of lung disease in the hospital the night before. This is a fighter. He performed well throughout the campaign and he has a lot of courage,” Hayden said.

Mumbai defeats Vidarbha by 169 runs to win the 42nd Ranji Trophy, capping an eight-year reign.

Mumbai overcame Vidarbha by 169 runs in the Wankhede Stadium final on Thursday to end an eight-year drought for a record-tying 42nd Ranji Trophy victory. Vidarbha put up a valiant fight in the second inning to chase a massive 538 runs, but on Day 5, they were eventually bowled out for 368.

Vidarbha put up a valiant battle on Day 5 of the final, with captain Akshay Wadkar and Harsh Dubey leading the team’s struggle against Ajinkya Rahane’s troops. Vidarbha scored 81 runs in the opening session without losing a wicket thanks to the two’s resolute stance at the crease, which frustrated the home team.

Mumbai defeated Vidarbha by a commanding 169 runs in the Ranji Trophy final, putting on an outstanding display.

Following lunch, Wadkar gave Vidarbha’s innings a boost with a magnificent century, showcasing his batting prowess. But when it was time to step it up, Tanush Kotian got his wicket by lbw-ing Wadkar.

Following the captain’s exit, Vidarbha’s batting lineup came under increasing pressure. Even Dubey, who showed fortitude by hitting a steely 65 off 128 deliveries, gave in to the pressure of the scoreboard.

Mumbai’s bowlers strengthened their hold on the game as the innings went on. Vidarbha’s bottom order offered little resistance as Mumbai quickly completed the innings in just the next 25 deliveries.

Ajinkya Rahane gave the ball to Dhawal Kulkarni in a crucial moment following the loss of the ninth wicket in his final domestic encounter. With just his third ball of the spell, Kulkarni quickly secured the vital wicket of Umesh Yadav, securing Mumbai’s 42nd championship.

Mumbai won their first Ranji Trophy since 2016. The domestic powerhouses increased their lead over other teams in the standings for the most trophies won in the first-class competition. With Karnataka coming in a distant second, no other team has won the Ranji Trophy more times than this one.
