01.05.2023 - 16:47 sports.ndtv.com

Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter Mohammed Rizwan on Monday revealed that he would bat at number four instead of his current position, number five in the ODIs, with which he is not pleased but is doing for the sake of his side.

Speaking at the press conference before the third ODI against New Zealand, a candid Mohammad Rizwan revealed his preferred batting position in the 50-over format.

Rizwan has played a crucial role in Pakistan being 2-0 up in the five-match ODI series against New Zealand. In both games, the hosts were tasked with chasing and Rizwan remained unbeaten each time to guide his team home.

Batting at No.5, Rizwan calmly stroked a 34-ball 42* while chasing 289 to win in the first ODI and followed it up with an unbeaten half-century (54* off 41) as Pakistan hunted down a solid target of 337 in the next match.
