Recently, star Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan made a big comment while comparing the Pakistan Super League with the Indian T20 League. Notably, a draft for the eighth season of the PSL took place earlier in this ongoing week. Some big names in Pakistan cricket happened to attend this major event for the franchise T20 League in Pakistan.
Coming back to Mohammad Rizwan, he is currently the skipper of Multan Sultans,, and also the team won the Title under his captaincy last year during 2021. He was also there in the player draft ceremony.
Meanwhile, the 30-year-old has come up with a big comment on the Indian T20 League by counting the Pakistan Super League over the former.
"The international cricketers claim PSL to be the toughest T20 league in the world. The level of competition is so high that even sometimes international cricketers are also benched in PSL," said Rizwan on the sidelines of the player draft event.
Although these comments from the star Pakistan batter didn't go down well with the Indian cricket fans and they took no time in lashing out at Rizwan. Fans took to Twitter to go after the Peshawar batter and tried to show him the mirror of reality before making a comparison between two leagues.
Here's how fans reacted:
