Muhammad Rizwan, a wicketkeeper batsman for Pakistan, has become a member of the exclusive group of wicketkeepers who have amassed 150 runs or more in a Test match.
At the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Thursday, on the second day of the first Test match against Bangladesh, the 32-year-old accomplished a remarkable accomplishment by hitting 171 runs off 239 balls.
With this achievement, Rizwan has entered the ranks of notable individuals such as Taslim Arif, Rashid Latif, Imtiaz Ahmed, and Kamran Akmal.
Prior to this match, no other Pakistani wicketkeeper batsman had reached the milestone of 150 in a Test match since 2009. Akmal defeated Sri Lanka in February 2009 at the National Stadium in Karachi, scoring 158 out of 184 without losing.
Rizwan had been excellent against Bangladesh, forcing them to back off despite facing 239 deliveries.
