Speaking about the video, Mohammad Rizwan was seen having an intense net session. Some Indian fans were there. So, a fan requested Rizwan to hit a six as he came from India, especially to see him in action. In response to that, the Pakistani batter said: “Will show you sixes if we go to India.”
Hearing that, fans found it funny and said that the Indian Government will not let them come. However, in the past few days, Jay Shah’s comment regarding Asia Cup 2023 made headlines. The tournament is going to happen in Pakistan. But, Jay Shah said that India will not go and the tournament will happen in a neutral venue. Regarding that, Pakistan Cricket Board also said that if India eventually do not come to Pakistan, then that will impact their participation in the 50-over World Cup in India in 2023.
Speaking about Rizwan, he has been a prolific batter in recent years in this format. In the 20-20 World Cup 2021, Mohammad Rizwan scored 79* runs off 55 balls against India. His inning was crucial along with skipper Babar Azam as Pakistan defeated India by 10 wickets.
