ICC World Cup: Pakistan’s Mohammad Rizwan wins hearts before acid test versus Afghanistan

On Sunday after an intense practice session ahead of Pakistan’s upcoming match against Afghanistan, the team’s vice-captain had plenty of time for the Indian net bowlers. He patiently posed for pictures with them, signed autographs and when the aspiring bowlers wanted to pick his brains on the game, the flamboyant wicketkeeper-batsman was up for it. Nineteen-year-old Dharmik Bharadwaj, a right-arm pacer who bowled at Rizwan, said the Pakistani batter motivated the net bowlers with a good pep talk.
