PSL 2022: Mohammad Rizwan makes Tim David comfortable with his words after he gets smashed for 2 sixes

Things might not always go your way in sport. Sport is highly unpredictable, and there are times when your plan might not succeed. And, that is when you need a teammate or any player to come over and support you.

And, that is exactly what happened on 27th January 2022 in the opening match of the 2022 edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) between the Karachi Kings and the Multan Sultans side.

Tim David was smashed for 2 sixes in the 9th over of the Karachi Kings’ innings by Sharjeel Khan. And, after the second six, wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan ran up to David, gave him a brief hug, and offered him some words of encouragement.

It was ‘smooth sailing’ for the Multan Sultans side in the opening match of the 2022 edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) against the Karachi Kings. Wielding the willow first, the Karachi outfit posted a total of 124/5 on the board.

Sharjeel Khan was the top scorer for the Babar Azam led outfit, and scored a quick 43 at a strike rate of close to 140. Imran Tahir spun his web around the opposition and picked up 3 wickets in his quota of 4 overs.

In reply, Mohammad Rizwan helped his side romp home without much fuss. The Multan skipper displayed a lot of composure out in the middle and scored a patient 52* off 47 deliveries for his side to ensure that the Sultans started their campaign in the tournament on a winning note. He was ably supported by Sohaib Maqsood who scored 30 at a strike rate of close to 100. Even though Mohammad Nabi scalped 2 wickets with the ball for the Karachi Kings, the other bowlers did not offer support to the Afghan cricketer.

The Multan Sultans will play their second match of PSL 2022 against the Lahore Qalandars on 29th January 2022 at the National Stadium in Karachi.
