Pakistan's Mohammad Rizwan had spent 2 days in the ICU right before the semi-final bout against Australia in the T20 World Cup last night.Β
Despite being ill, Rizwan battled hard and top-scored with a superb 67 off 52 balls while opening the batting. This has led to people hailing him as a true warrior.Β
Can you imagine this guy played for his country today & gave his best.

This is unreal. No wonder Matthew Hayden called him a warrior. Huge respect for Mohammad Rizwan who spent two nights before the #T20WorldCup semi-final in ICU - then top-scored with 67! https://t.co/YLfJOGFmUO pic.twitter.com/2ztPUsuuWF

For me, Rizwan defined the spirit of Pakistan Cricket.

He was in ICU for 2 days but played today; hit on the face with a bouncer but went on to be the top scorer; kept the wickets with a vicious bruise on the face.
