After Pakistan won their match against the Netherlands, Mohammad Rizwan was very happy. He talked about the warm welcome in India and how it felt like home.
He also mentioned being excited about visiting new cities. But what really stood out was his praise for Saud Shakeel, who he thinks could become a big star.
In just his seventh One Day International (ODI) match, Saud Shakeel played a crucial role in Pakistan’s comeback. When Pakistan was in trouble at 38 for 3, Shakeel and Rizwan made a hundred-run partnership.
Shakeel was the one scoring fast, reaching fifty in just 32 balls. Rizwan, who was not batting at that moment, was so impressed by Shakeel’s performance that they forgot about making plans and just enjoyed Shakeel’s great batting, which helped Pakistan win after a tough start.
Rizwan talked about Shakeel’s special talents and playing style. He said Shakeel’s ability to score quickly makes him unique.
Rizwan believes that if Shakeel keeps working hard and playing his natural game, he could become a cricket superstar. Even though they planned to discuss strategy after the 33rd over, both Rizwan and Shakeel got out just before that, which led to a funny moment in their partnership.
