2023 ICC Cricket World Cup (October/November) - India

Physically capable of what?

Of lasting the game. Come on, you can't dent the guy has a problem with his fitness.

Yes, he has batted well, but what good is it if you cannot last the game? What if he retires out in the next 3 overs with Pak on the brink of victory- and assume that Pakistan collapse? Who will you blame?

If he doesn't retire hurt, that means he has lasted the game.

One of the great knock in recent times, quality knock by Rizwan.

I'll admit I've been surprised at how often he's gotten injured during games, but I think it has more to do with a recurring injury that he hasn't had time to get surgery on/rest his body, rather than a lack of fitness. Kohli and Rahul get rested a lot more than Rizwan

Mere excuses! If you are injured, you should tend to it at the earliest. He shows no discomfort whilst keeping at all,mind you.

Kohli and KLR get rested in recent times. But, prior to that, how many times have you seen the Indian physio run out to tend to cramps? I can only remember Rohit getting treated twice in the last 10 years. Other than that, please do refresh my memory.

HUGEEE two drops almost in a row! Poor poor by Sri Lanka!

 

[LiveLoveABD]

Sri Lanka have given up and dare I say this is the end of their World Cup!

Dropped the World Cup as well as the Plate Championship

Yes Rizwan keeps having the issues but he keeps batting like a dream, a dream most crave for. He is arguably the best limited overs batsman in current generation. To add that he also keeps is not easy. Scoring runs for fun while keeping is excruciating on the body for sure and in that heat.

Well done Rizwan and Sri Lanka have a lot of questions to answer after this match. Two back to back games where the bowling has lost them matches.

@CerealKiller and @Na Maloom Afraad would be proud boys today seeing how they came back with bowling first and now batting.

You are attacking him today of all days for this?

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

Well too late of a wicket, Saud did well there by scoring a run a ball and not letting any pressure on Rizwan.

Kuch zyada ho gya
A little exaggerated

People ridiculing Rizwan's injury have probably never played sport. He has kept wickets for 50 overs in heat and now batted for 45 odd. Cramps are normal. Some keyboard warriors may encounter that typing for that long in an air conditioned room.

Wow!

May I point out other batsmen who have kept wickets/keep wickets yet don't face any cramps?

If you cared to read properly, no one has ridiculed the injury-I have simply questioned his fitness regime here. For a recurring issue, a person like him ought to address it.

As for the clutching of his thighs,it really is surprising that he has clutched at both legs during the course of the game-mant clips to prove that.
