Shahid Afridi praises ‘fabulous’ Mohammad Rizwan, ‘brilliant’ Hasan Ali

Former Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi has heaped praise on wicketkeeper-batsman Mohammad Rizwan and pacer Hasan Ali, after the duo put the home side in a strong position against South Africa during the ingoing Rawalpindi Test.

Rizwan scored his maiden hundred to help Pakistan set South Africa a target of 370 runs on the fourth day of the second Test.

The 28-year-old took a sharp single off spinner George Linde to complete his first century in his 13th Test.

Meanwhile, Hasan Ali claimed a five-wicket haul in the first innings to help Pakistan take a lead of 71 runs.
