Mohammad Rizwan Tops Global Charts as Leading ODI Wicketkeeper-Batter
In today’s cricket, wicketkeeper-batters are expected to contribute significantly with the bat—and Pakistan’s Mohammad Rizwan has quietly set a remarkable benchmark.
Over the past five years, Rizwan has posted the highest batting average in One Day Internationals (minimum 40 matches), averaging an impressive 52 runs. This achievement places him ahead of world-class keepers like Quinton de Kock, Jos Buttler, KL Rahul, and Rishabh Pant, proving his consistency and importance to Pakistan’s lineup.
Since 2020, Rizwan has been a key pillar in Pakistan’s batting order, combining steady composure with timely aggression. Whether anchoring the innings or accelerating when needed, his adaptability in various match situations has made him a vital asset for the team.
His ability to perform under pressure—whether chasing big targets or facing challenging conditions—has earned him praise from fans and posed a constant threat to bowlers worldwide.
For Pakistan cricket, Rizwan’s record isn’t just numbers; it reflects his dedication, hard work, and evolution into one of the finest all-format wicketkeeper-batters in the modern game.
