Mohammad Rizwanwas brutally trolled by fans after he downplayedPakistan cricket team'spoor run in the T20 World Cup 2026. In a video that went viral on social media, a journalist asked Rizwan about Pakistan's group stage exit from theT20 World Cup, to which he made a bizarre remark and said the team was knocked out because of the run rate. Pakistan's first Super 8 game against New Zealand was washed out, and the team suffered a defeat to England. The Men in Green needed a big win over Sri Lanka to pip the Kiwis on run rate, but the game went down to the wire, and Pakistan picked a close win, but they failed to make the semifinal.
The journalist pointed out that the game against Sri Lanka was bad as Pakistan let the game slip away from a strong position, but Rizwan said that the team won the game, and that is what counts. The journalist then told Rizwan to watch the brand of cricket India is playing, but the wicketkeeper-batter gave a blunt reply and said that he doesn't watch India's matches.
