Out of favour Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan is a mainstay on the social media and a highly popular and viral guy with his extremenly entertaining antics time and time again. Such is his lovely audience that as per the fans, he falls in the category of “zero haters club” of the athletes. On January 19, he was on the mark again with his viral tweet in concern with the running between the wickets of Pakistan wicket-keeper batsman Mohammad Rizwan.

The Indian batter does share a likeable bond with arch-rivals Pakistan’s players and thus, gives the fans an assurance that the post is fun-intended and will most probably be taken as a banter.
Mohammad Rizwan’s Excellent Knock Against New Zealand
Mohamad Rizwan played an extremely special knock of an unbeaten 90 against New Zealand in the fourth T20I of the five-match T20I series. The match was played at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch on January 19 and the antics of Rizwan led Pakistan to a fighting score of 158 on a difficult batting track.
The pitch did exactly what was expected of it as it assisted Pakistan seamers handsomely. Newly-elected white ball skipper of Pakistan, Shaheen Shah Afridi was world class with the ball as he scalped 3 wickets wihtin his first 10 balls as he, in the process, dismissed last match’s centurion Finn Allen to reduce the Kiwis to 20/3 as they were on the right track to salvage some pride after already losing the series.
What seemed like a hefty ask to be demanded from Daryl Mitchell and Glenn Phillips, the Black Caps’ batters made sure that they tackle the early help off the pitch for seamers and then accelerate to guide New Zealand past Pakistan. That was the case as both of them notched an unbeaten partnership of 139 off 93 balls to further hammer Pakistan into the mud as the Asian side now face the scare of a humiliating back-to-back whitewash in the past two months.
