Pakistan’s star cricketer Mohammad Rizwan has once again proved why he is one of the most valuable batters in the team. In a thrilling match against South Africa during the tri-series in Karachi, Rizwan surpassed Babar Azam to set another record, further strengthening his reputation as Pakistan’s most dependable player in high-pressure chases.
During the match, Rizwan played a crucial role in Pakistan’s victory, scoring a century that helped his team successfully chase a 300+ target. With this performance, he became Pakistan’s highest run-scorer in successful 300+ run chases. He now has 425 runs in just seven innings at an incredible average of 141.67. This record was previously held by Babar Azam, who had 399 runs in such chases. Rizwan’s outstanding consistency makes him stand out as he continues to deliver for the team when it matters the most.
His latest century puts him in an elite club alongside Babar Azam and Younis Khan, both of whom also have two centuries while chasing 300+ scores. However, what sets Rizwan apart is his exceptional average, proving his ability to handle pressure and lead Pakistan to victory in difficult matches. His ability to pace the innings, absorb pressure, and accelerate at the right moments has made him a vital part of the team.
