Moreover, last week, wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan dedicated Pakistan's victory over Sri Lanka to his "brothers and sisters in Gaza."

This was for our brothers and sisters in Gaza. 🤲🏼

Happy to contribute in the win. Credits to the whole team and especially Abdullah Shafique and Hassan Ali for making it easier.

Extremely grateful to the people of Hyderabad for the amazing hospitality and support throughout.
