Pakistani cricketer Mohammad Rizwan, known for his on-field dedication, recently opened up about his personal life, revealing he had a love marriage. The wicketkeeper-batsman’s interview went viral on social media, surprising fans with the story behind his happily ever after.
Rizwan shared that he was the first in his family to venture into love marriage territory. But his path to love wasn’t a cakewalk. He admitted to waiting eight long years for his dream to come true.
“I had to wait for eight years and had to pray to Allah every day for it,” Rizwan said in the interview.
While he remained private about the specifics of his love story, Rizwan’s perseverance is certainly inspiring. The wait seems to have been worth it, and Rizwan is currently enjoying marital bliss.
This news comes on the heels of another achievement for Rizwan. In April, he broke the record for fastest batsman to score 3,000 runs in T20 Internationals, surpassing his captain Babar Azam and India’s Virat Kohli.
Rizwan is currently part of the Pakistan squad competing in the T20 World Cup 2024, co-hosted by the United States and West Indies. Fans will be hoping his off-field success translates into on-field victories for Pakistan in the tournament.
