Many players of India contenders in different categories

Pakistan's wicket-keeper batsman Mohammad Rizwan surprised everyone and was adjudged the best cricketer of the year in T20 format, beating his own captain Babar Azam. This Pakistan opener performed brilliantly in the shortest format of the game in 2021. In fact, Mohammad Rizwan performed very well in this edition in the last year and if Pakistan team got success, then Rizwan contributed a lot to it. At the same time, in the women's section, Beaumont was the top scorer in T20 Internationals for her team in 2021. In her low-scoring series against New Zealand, Beaumont was the top scorer and was named Player of the Series for scoring 102 runs in three matches. Chosen.

Very strong performance of the year

Apart from batting, Rizwan also impressed behind the wicket and he played a key role in helping Pakistan reach the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup 2021. Rizwan was the third top scorer of the tournament. Rizwan scored 1,326 runs in just 29 matches at an average of 73.66 and a strike rate of 134.89. He also scored the first century of his T20 International career against South Africa in Lahore in 2021 and scored 87 runs in the final T20 match of the year against West Indies in Karachi.

There is another T20 World Cup to be held next year and in such a situation, Pakistan will hope that Rizwan will continue this performance. Rizwan also scored an unbeaten 79 off 55 balls against India in the first match of the T20 World Cup, helping Pakistan register their first win in this global tournament against arch-rivals.

Most Memorable Performance Against India

It would not be wrong to say that if Rizwan's innings against India in the T20 World Cup last year was his best. It was an innings of more than a century. Under tight pressure, Pakistan was chasing 152 runs from India. But he, along with captain Babar, washed India by ten wickets. Rizwan played an unbeaten 79 off just 55 balls and it was an innings that will always be remembered not only by his fans but also by all his fans and opponents.
