Pakistan wicket-keeper batter Mohammad Rizwan achieved a significant milestone during the ongoing third Test against England in Rawalpindi on Friday.
Rizwan, while playing his 57th innings in Test cricket, completed his 2000 runs in the format, becoming the fifth Pakistan wicketkeeper to achieve this feat.
The right-hander has now joined Sarfaraz Ahmed, Kamran Akmal, Moin Khan and Imtiaz Ahmed in the coveted list. Notably, Sarfaraz Ahmed holds the record for most runs by a Pakistani wicket-keeper.

As of this writing, Pakistan have scored 251-7 in their first innings and are trailing by a meagre 16 runs.
Saud Shakeel is playing at 104 while Noman Ali has scored 38 so far. Together these two have constructed an unbeaten 74-run partnership so far, which is Pakistan’s best in this innings.
