Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan has not too long ago spread out about sharing the exchange room with India batter Chetehswar Pujara and finding out a couple of golden guidelines from the Check specialist. Rizwan and Pujara each are these days in England taking part in the continued County Championship Department Two 2022.

Rizwan is taking part in his maiden County Championships stint with Sussex, the place India’s veteran batter Pujara may be part of the aspect. Particularly, Pujara has been one of the vital constant batters within the department to this point. The best-handed strokemaker has scored 717 runs in 4 fits for Sussex to this point and is these days the second-highest run-getter within the season.

All through a fit in opposition to Durham, the duo of Pujara and Rizwan shaped a 154-run stand the place Pujara went directly to ruin a double-hundred (203 off 334 balls), whilst Rizwan scored a scintillating half-century (79 off 145 balls).

On the other hand, prior to his knock in opposition to Durham, the Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter seemed slightly inconsistent. Previous to his 79-run show, Rizwan had rankings of twenty-two, 0, and four to his credit score in 3 innings.

Rizwan has published how Pujara helped him regain his shape within the red-ball layout. The 29-year-old discussed he sought recommendation from the Indian celebrity, who got here up with some precious tips and defined to him the variation between taking part in within the sub-continent and within the English stipulations.

“With Pujara, I had a talk with him when I were given out early. He advised me a couple of issues, and one among them was once to play just about the frame. And as we all know, now we have been taking part in white-ball cricket persistently during the last few years and play slightly clear of our frame. You don’t play very just about your frame in white-ball for the reason that ball doesn’t swing or seam as a lot,” Rizwan advised Cricwick.

“So early on right here, I performed clear of my frame and were given out two times in a similar fashion. Then I went over to satisfy him within the nets, and I consider him pronouncing that after we play in Asia, we power the ball to play the pressure. Right here, we don’t want to do this. And we want to play just about the frame. I’ve performed white ball cricket persistently. So those are the issues which he advised me, and no matter he discovered from me, he can inform [laughs],” he added.
