NEW DELHI: Mohammad Rizwan and Saud Shakeel showcased their batting prowess, scoring magnificent centuries to propel Pakistan to a commanding total of 448 for 6 declared against Bangladesh on the second day of the first Test match in Rawalpindi on Thursday.
Rizwan’s unbeaten 171, his highest score in Test cricket and his third century in the format, was a testament to his skill and determination.
The wicketkeeper-batsman was on the cusp of achieving his first double century in Tests, but a declaration from captain Shan Masood prevented him from reaching this remarkable milestone.
As Rizwan, who scored an unbeaten 171 off 239 deliveries, walked back to the pavilion, his teammates gathered near the boundary line to applaud his outstanding performance.
In a lighthearted moment, Rizwan tossed his bat towards Babar Azam, who caught it, and the two shared a friendly laugh.
