Rizwan’s bat flies towards Babar, sparks of laughter in the Pakistan dressing room
Such a scene in the cricket field is not seen every day! On the second day of the first Test against Bangladesh, Mohammad Rizwan delivered an outstanding performance, remaining unbeaten with a score of 171.Then the funny thing happened when he started walking towards the pavilion after captain Shan Masood’s declaration. Rizwan threw his bat at Babar Azam! Babar also smiled and caught the bat. Pakistan players were standing on the boundary applauding Rizwan’s innings, and they too laughed at the funny sight. This funny moment has also gone viral on social media.
Pakistan’s turnaround in Rizwan-Saud duo
On the first day, the Pakistan team was in danger. They lost 3 wickets for just 16 runs. But in the duo of Rizwan and Saud Shakeel, they turned around. These two made a great partnership of 240 runs. Pakistan’s score was 354 when Shakil was dismissed. Izwan Agha and Salman combined to contribute an additional 44 runs to the scoreboard. After Salman got out, instructions came from the dressing room to bat aggressively. Shaheen Afridi followed that order and scored 29 runs off just 24 balls. After that, Masud declared the innings.
Controversy over the Declaration
Rizwan was then batting on 171 runs unbeaten. In this situation, the debate started on social media about declaring the innings. Many say that Masud should have given Rizwan a chance to score a double century. However, Masood’s vice-captain Shakil told the press conference that Rizwan was informed about this an hour before the declaration.
