In recent years, Mohammad Rizwan has emerged as a rising talent for the Pakistan cricket squad. The wicket-keeper batter was a standout performer as Pakistan advanced to the 2021 T20 World Cup semi-finals. Rizwan has so far played 22 Tests, 44 ODIs and 56 T20Is for Pakistan scoring 1112, 897 and 1662 runs respectively.

“Rizwan is better these days”, Javed said on ARY News Show Sports Room. He claimed Rizwan is a far better player than Pant because he takes on more responsibility. Pant is an incredible talent, but he doesn’t know how to control his emotions and can let the circumstances get the best of him, whereas Rizwan is calm, poised, and thrives under pressure, according to him. We all know both Rishabh pant and Rizwan will play a key part in the upcoming T20 WC in Australia for their respective teams.
