Mohammad Rizwan is undoubtedly one of the most loved figures in cricket in the modern era. Not just for his prowess with the bat and behind the stumps, Rizwan is also known to be a fighter and a religious person. Remember him bowing down to pray on the field the last India had squared off against Pakistan, at the T20 World Cup last year? Well, in much of a similar incident, the keeper-batter was seen reading the Holy Quran while his teammates were caught up with their phones during the Pakistan team's travel from Amsterdam to Dubai.

It is from a screengrab of a video posted by Pakistan Cricket on Twitter, where Rizwan is seeing engrossed deeply in reading the Quran and this was appreciated pretty much by the Twitterverse, who lauded Rizwan for his simplicity.

The Pakistan opener was in sensational form the last time he faced India. He and his captain Babar Azam dominated the Indian bowlers as Pakistan, for the first time, defeated India in a World Cup match, last year.
