Mohammad Rizwan has completed 3,000 runs in his T20 International career during the Pakistan vs New Zealand series. He is the second Pakistani batsman after Babar Azam to do so. Recently, Shaheen Afridi, while mentioning this achievement, compared Rizwan with the great cricketer Don Bradman on social media. Afridi wrote in his post that Rizwan is the Bradman of T20 cricket and congratulations to him on this special achievement. Afridi also said that Rizwan has given a new definition to this format of cricket.
People are trolling Shaheen Afridi fiercely for this post. Even the people of Pakistan themselves are scolding Shaheen for making such statements. A person giving statistics said that Mohammad Rizwan is far behind Virat Kohli, Aaron Finch, Rohit Sharma and even Babar Azam in the list of players who have completed 3,000 runs playing the least number of balls. A fan said that what kind of people are these, who celebrate their achievements in a strange way. Rizwan is also being trolled for his strike rate. While players try to play with a strike rate of more than 150, Mohammad Rizwan has a strike rate of 127.42 in 93 matches.
Congratulations to the Bradman of T20 cricket and Pakistan's Superman Muhammad Rizwan for scoring 3,000 T20I runs! 🏏🌟 Your influence has changed the game and silenced the skeptics. Keep going, champ! You are an inspiration to many people. @imrizwanpak pic.twitter.com/JKnoxfEeUF
