What did the captain of the Pakistani team say?
Captain Mohammad Rizwan looked quite disappointed with the defeat of the Pakistani team. He said that nothing is left for his team now. In a way, his team’s campaign has ended. Along with this, Rizwan also praised Virat Kohli, who scored a century. He said that Kohli’s fitness and discipline are capable of praise.
He further said that now we have to depend on the results of other matches. One match remains. As a captain, I do not like such situations. Our fate should be in our own hands. He credited the victory to India, especially Virat Kohli, who scored his 51st ODI century.
Pakistani captain praises Virat
Mohammad Rizwan praised Kohli and said that he works so hard that I am surprised to see him. The whole world was saying that he is an out -of -form, but he scored very comfortably in such a big match. Their fitness and discipline are commendable. We tried hard to take him out but could not remove it. We are disappointed with this result. We made mistakes in all departments and could not take wickets in the middle overs.
We need to improve our fielding.
Rizwan further said, “We won the toss, but did not get the benefit of the toss.” We thought that the score of 280 would be good on this pitch. His bowlers bowled very well in the middle overs and took our wickets. Saeed Shakeel and I took time because we wanted to understand it deeply. Poor shot selection put pressure on us and we were dismissed for 240 runs.
Rizwan said that whenever you lose, it means that you did not perform well in all departments. We wanted to pressurize them. But we could not do this. Abrar gave us one wicket, but at the other end he played other bowlers very well. We need to improve our fielding.
