Pakistan's wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan has returned to his country after featuring in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup where he was part of the squad that reached the final but finished as the runners-up. The ICC T20I cricketer of the year in 2021, Rizwan shared a great fan following in and outside Pakistan. He shared a great relationship with fans especially because of the humility with which he interacts with fans.

However, a video has now surfaced on social media where Rizwan breaks the heart of one of his female fans as he fails to fulfill her wish. From what is being learned, Rizwan was invited to an event after the conclusion of which fans surrounded him to take pictures with him. While he was comfortable in posing for pictures and selfies with male fans, when a female fan reached out to him, he refused to pose for a picture.

Much like the other fans, this particular female fan too came with her camera to take a picture with the cricketer, but Rizwan backed off.

Have a look at the video here:

Rizwan, who scored 175 runs from 7 innings at the T20 World Cup Down Under, has told in the past why he is not comfortable in taking a picture with a female fan. He believes that women are to be kept on a pedestal as they are always a notch above the men and does not consider himself worthy of taking pictures with them.

He even refrains from looking at them in the eye or talking to them. Even while interacting with female sports anchors or journalists, Rizwan has been seen replying while lowering his eyes.
