Pertaining to his declining form in T20I cricket, Rizwan has been dropped long back from the national team, and there has been a change in his form in PSL too. He played most of PSL with Multan Sultan, but after getting released by them in the auction, he joined Rawalpindiz as the captain of the franchise, but things have only gone downhill. He has played 6 innings this season with only 98 runs, an average of 16.33, and a strike rate of 118.07.
Recently, in the game against the Hyderabad Kingsmen, Rizwan left the pitch early, scoring just 15 runs, and a collapse followed from there. Mohammad Ali from the Hyderabadi Kingsmen was the one today to break through Rizwan’s stump, bamboozle him and send him back to the pavilion.

Netizens expressed their disappointment once again with Rizwan and his form. Some even demanded his retirement from cricket, saying he no longer has skill and can only bring downfall to a team.
ALWAYS PLAYING ACROSS THE LINE. Unbelievable how he has been selected for longer formats when 99 percent of his shots are mows to the leg side. As a senior player with those many caps, he must have good technique. Has to make way for domestic talents such as Shahzaib Khan.

A Netizen questioned Rawalpindiz team owner and Rizwan’s favouritism that has actually ruined the team:
🚨RawalPindiz’s owner bought the costliest team in the PSL - Did great branding, connected with locals through different activities, hired an amazing social media team - The only & the most important thing he failed at was the team management - You just cannot invest over 200… pic.twitter.com/kTaUZ1Gdp1

Hyderabad Kingsmen on a hattrick of win after defeating Rawalpindiz
After starting the season with four losses, finally Hyderabad Kingsmen has had a turnaround with a hat-trick of wins in PSL. Their bowlers did an incredible job to restrict the Pindiz to 120 on board- Mohammed Ali and Hunain Shah being their top bowlers tonight with 3 wickets each. Although the pitch was tricky but par score was 140.
So the chase was easy, although in the early phase, Pindiz bowler did chip in some early wickets, but Labuschagne, Kusal Perera and Irfan Khan were enough to complete the chase in the 17th over. With this win, Hyderabadis have reached the 4th spot on the table, and Pindiz have no hope as they have lost all the 6 games now and are at the bottom of the table trying to survive.
