Pakistan wicketkeeper-batsman Mohammad Rizwan creates a mammoth record in T20 International after he scored more than 2000 runs in one calendar year. The right handed batter scored 2036 runs at a strike rate of 134.99 with a batting average of 73.66 which itself is a phenomenal number. The moment he registered this feat he was applauded heavily on micro-blogging site Twitter where some of the experts wrote scoring more than 2000 runs in one calender year is not a mean feat.
Due to individual performance of Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam, Men in Green successfully won 20 T20 International matches in one calendar year. Pakistan cricket team has been on roll in limited overs format starting from recently concluded T20 World Cup where they lost the semi-final game against Australia which diminished all their hopes of winning World Cup title.
