Watch: Mohammad Rizwan speaks to Multan Sultans' overseas players in Urdu, teammates bewildered

It won't be wrong to say that Mohammad Rizwan has grabbed the spotlight more for his English-speaking skills than his performance on the cricket field in recent times.

While his performances have not been up to the mark either, and he has faced severe criticism for the same, he has faced severe trolling for his English-speaking skills as well.

The Pakistan star recently became the talk of the town for his English when he attended the pre- and post-match interviews during the Champions Trophy.

Brad Hogg had also made fun of the Pakistan captain

Not only the fans but former Australia spinner Brad Hogg had also decided to have some fun at the expense of the wicketkeeper-batsman.

Well, Mohammad Rizwan is in the spotlight once again, and this time, it is not for his English but his decision to address the Multan Sultans squad in Urdu.

While Mohammad Rizwan's penchant for motivating his teammates in English is well-known, the Multan Sultans captain decided to use Urdu for his latest speech.

What surprised the fans is that Rizwan spoke in Urdu even though there were several overseas players in the squad.

Mohammad Rizwan eyes PSL final:

With the new season of PSL all set to begin, Mohammad Rizwan made it clear that his eyes are set on the final. He urged his teammates to play with passion and focus on positive thinking without worrying about other factors.

"All the people here, all the squads, they are the squad of Multan Sultan. Whether they are big or small, listen to me carefully. The bigger our thoughts are, they will decide our lives. Not just for this tournament," said Rizwan.

The tournament will end in a month. But our thoughts will target our goal. And the target will be easy to reach. We won't look at the numbers. We will look at our passion. If this is our first day, we will talk about the final day. Whatever we talk about, it will be about the final day. After that, we will get ready.

"We have to come after that. Whatever we talk about, it will be positive. It will be about victory, it will be about the champion. Whatever happens, it doesn't matter. We will have a 0.99% chance. We have to talk about the champion," added Rizwan.

Rizwan has been leading Multan Sultans since 2021 and has done a brilliant job so far. In his first season as the captain, he led the team to its first PSL title. Multan Sultans finished as runners-up in the next 3 seasons and will be desperate to go all the way this year.
