Pakistan wicket-keeper Mohammad Rizwan was brilliant with the gloves against England in the first T20I on Friday (August 28). He was involved in the dismissals of Moeen Ali and Lewis Gregory, with a catch and stumping, respectively.
But what made social media discuss about Rizwan was his constant chatter behind the stumps. It was observed that he guided the Pakistan spinners Shadab Khan and Imad Wasim from behind.

Rizwan was appreciating the good balls and making the bowlers read the batsmen better. But when Moeen came in to bat, he let the bowler know that he is on his own. The reason was simple, Ali knows the language.
It was funny as he told his teammate Shadab Khan, "Ise khud out karna, ise Urdu samajh aati hai. (Get him out on your own, he knows Urdu)". Moeen has his roots in Pakistan.
The southpaw didn't last long in the middle as he edged one to Rizwan who took the catch in the second attempt.
The first T20I between Pakistan and England was washed out and even first innings wasn't completed. Even though rain stopped later, the wet outfield made it tough for the game to resume before the cut-off time.
