People praised Rizwan for his brilliant effort in the last T20I and wished him the best of luck for Test captaincy in absence of regular skipper Babar Azam.
Mohammad Rizwan :
First 31 balls scored 36 runs
Next 28 balls scored 53 runsYes He did played some dot balls early on but best thing was that He took all the responsibility specially after the dismissal of Hafeez. Well played #NZvPAK

It must be noted here that Rizwan suffered immense criticism for being in the team in place of former skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed under whom Pakistan won 11 consecutive T20I series.
