Today’s Cricket Match Update: Virat Kohli Lashes Out At Mohammad Rizwan

Meanwhile, a brief gestural exchange between Virat Kohli and Mohammad Rizwan transpired during Pakistan’s innings in Ahmedabad. The animated episode occurred when Mohammad Rizwan walked into bat following Imam Ul Haq’s dismissal. Kohli, seemingly, appeared frustrated by Rizwan’s slow entry into the ground and pointed at his wristwatch while staring at him. Rizwan, in response, kept minding his business with an aim to rebuild his team’s stumbling innings.

Ace Pakistan wicketkeeper-batsman Mohammad Rizwan hammered crucial 49 runs in the occurring India-Pakistan clash. Rizwan took 69 deliveries during his prolonged innings in Ahmedabad, which featured only four boundaries. It was Jasprit Bumrah who ultimately undone Pakistan’s Rizwan in the form of bowled, with an unplayable off-cutter. Moreover, the Peshawar campaigner is bound to play a decisive role behind the wickets in the run chase.
