“Some things are part of tactics. No doubt Virat Kohli is world’s No. 1. When we play cricket, it’s like family. I remember when we took the review against Pant when he played the reverse sweep, he (Kohli) said… ‘what are you doing? Getting everyone out inside 10 overs?’” Rizwan told Paktv.tv

“But like I said, these are tactics. Later, when I walked out to bat, I spoke to him then too. Rest, whatever chats took place inside the change room, I can’t disclose but I can say that he’s a very nice person,” he added.

Meanwhile, Rizwan enjoyed a sensational run in 2021 and the same earned him Pakistan’s most valuable cricketer of the year award. As far as his numbers are concerned, he slammed 455 Test, 134 ODI, and 1326 T20I runs. He also accounted for 56 batters behind the wickets across all international formats. However, Rizwan is determined to improve even further.
