Mohammad Rizwan, featuring for Sussex, played a key role alongside India's Cheteshwar Pujara who put up a 203-run partnership that helped the team post 538 runs on the board and eventually led to a draw.

The match showcased Rizwan's brilliance with not only the bat but also in the field and with the ball as well. The wicketkeeper-batsman conceded only 5 runs off his two overs and nearly picked up a wicket as he got extra bounce from the pitch.

The Sussex's official Twitter account shared the video of Rizwan bowling which quickly went viral.

"He does it all. @iMRizwanPak's first over in the @CountyChamp," tweeted Sussex.

Reacting to the video, Pakistan teammate and left-arm superstar Shaheen Afridi responded in a hilarious manner.

"Rizzi bhai, ab kya hum retirement le lain? Ye aap kya ker rahe hain? Kuch hamare liye bhi chorh dain," wrote the Pakistan pace sensation.
