Shaheen Shah Afridi, the fast bowler for Pakistan, praised star batsman Mohammad Rizwan on social networking site X, calling him the “Bradman of T20 cricket” after he achieved the incredible feat of 3000 T20I runs.
Rizwan’s feat was accomplished in the third Twenty20 International match vs New Zealand, when he scored 22 runs off of 21 deliveries before to his innings being cut short due to a hamstring injury.
In X, Afridi paid a moving homage to Rizwan, highlighting the batsman’s revolutionary impact on cricket and his capacity to dispel skeptics. Referring to Rizwan as “Pakistan’s SuperMan,” he highlighted his significance as an inspiration.
“Congratulations to Muhammad Rizwan, Pakistan’s SuperMan and the Bradman of Twenty20 cricket, for scoring 3,000 T20I runs! Your influence has changed the game and put an end to the doubters. Keep on flying, victor! Many people find inspiration in you,” Afridi said in her article.
In addition to being a noteworthy personal accomplishment, Rizwan’s 3000 T20I runs also saw him overtake Indian cricket legend Virat Kohli. Rizwan beat Kohli’s record of 87 matches and 81 innings to accomplish this feat in 92 matches and 79 innings.
Rizwan has played in 93 matches and 80 innings since making his T20I debut against Bangladesh in 2015. He has been a key member of Pakistan’s batting order. He has scored 3048 runs with a strike rate of 127.42, solidifying his place among Pakistan’s top hitters in the game’s abbreviated format.
