A fresh scandal has surfaced in the middle of the fervor and enthusiasm around the ODI World Cup 2023, this time involving Pakistan's top opener Mohammad Rizwan. Rizwan has played well with the bat so far in the ongoing global tournament, but a recent incident has made him the subject of attention for very other reasons. In light of the current crisis between Israel and Palestine, Rizwan recently dedicated his century to the "brothers and sisters in Gaza." This action drew applause and condemnation. He is currently the subject of a new controversy after being seen praying while playing cricket.

Complaint filed against Rizwan for offering ‘namaz’ on the field

The event in issue happened in Hyderabad during Pakistan's game versus the Netherlands, where Rizwan showed off his unmatched cricket skills by composurely amassing 68 runs. The 'namaz' he recited on the field during the play, not his inning, is what everyone is talking about. A variety of responses were sparked as the video of this incident soon became popular online. Here is the clip: Mohammad Rizwan is the subject of a complaint by an Indian Supreme Court attorney. In order to add gasoline to the flames, Vineet Jindal, a Supreme Court of India attorney, has officially lodged a complaint against Rizwan with both the International Cricket Council (ICC) and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Rizwan's decision to pray during the game, according to Jindal's complaint, "raises questions about the spirit of the game." Notably, this is the same attorney who in the past complained against Pakistani sports broadcaster Zainab Abbas for tweets he said were "anti-Hindu," which ultimately caused her to leave the ODI World Cup in India in 2023 without warning. Regarding Rizwan's performance in the present World Cup, it's critical to note that he is now the competition's top run-scorer. His reliable performance has been crucial to Pakistan's effort thus far. His efforts, however, were unable to help Pakistan upset archrival India in their previous match, which was Pakistan's first loss in three tournament games.
