Following his match-winning century against Sri Lanka in the 2023 World Cup’s 8th match at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Pakistan’s wicket-keeper batsman, Mohammad Rizwan, was in high spirits.

During his conversation with the commentators after receiving the Player of the Match award, he provided a lighthearted response that greatly amused the fans.

Sri Lanka set the initial target by scoring a substantial 344/9. Mohammad Rizwan (131*) and Abdullah Shafique (113) powered Pakistan to reach 345/4 in 48.2 overs, securing victory. This achievement represents the World Cup’s most extensive successful chase to date.

Having kept wickets for the full 50 overs in the afternoon heat, Mohammad Rizwan also batted for over 40 overs. Despite suffering from cramps several times during the chase, Rizwan continued to fight and eventually led his team to victory.

Following the match, when commentator Simon Doull inquired about the cramps, Rizwan replied:

“Sometimes it’s cramps, sometimes it’s my acting.”

Rizwan further explained that Pakistan’s batting lineup was full of confidence at the halfway point, despite Sri Lanka setting a formidable target. He stated:

“Always a proud moment for me whenever you perform for your country. I am speechless at this moment. It was difficult in the chase. The thing was that after the bowling innings we went back and everyone was confident.”
