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.
Can you imagine this guy played for his country today & gave his best.

He was in the hospital last two days.
Massive respect @iMRizwanPak .

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

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.

Rizwan wasn’t just sick, he was admitted in the ICU. The team management decided to not disclose the information outside. They didn’t want to create panic and disrupt team’s morale.
