Pakistan’s fast bowler Shaheen Afridi praised star batsman Mohammad Rizwan on social media, calling him the “Bradman of T20 Cricket“. This comes after Rizwan achieved the impressive feat of scoring 3,000 runs in Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is).
Rizwan reached the milestone during the third T20I match against New Zealand. He scored 22 runs off 21 balls before an unfortunate hamstring injury forced him to leave the match.
Afridi’s heartfelt tribute to Rizwan on X underscored the batsman’s transformative influence on the sport and his ability to silence doubters. He hailed Rizwan as “Pakistan’s Superman,” emphasizing his inspirational role.
“Cheers to Muhammad Rizwan – the Bradman of T20 cricket and Pakistan’s SuperMan for hitting 3,000 T20I runs! Your impact has transformed the game and silenced the skeptics. Keep soaring, champion! You’re an inspiration to many,” Afridi’s post read.
Rizwan’s 3,000th T20I run was a double celebration. Not only was it a personal milestone, but it also saw him become the fastest player to reach the mark, surpassing the great Indian batsman Virat Kohli. Rizwan achieved this feat in just 79 innings, compared to Kohli’s 81.
