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.
