Nov 13, A Indian doctor who helped in restoring Pakistani cricketer Mohammad Rizwan to his feet the day before his T20 World Cup semi-final against Australia in Dubai has praised the wicketkeeper batters’ indomitable spirit and will as he battled a serious chest infection in the ICU.
Rizwan’s prompt recovery shocked specialist Pulmonologist at Medeor Hospital, Saheer Sainalabdeen, who treated the cricketer. Mujhe Khelna Hain, Rizwan told the doctors who treated him in the ICU that he wanted to play and be with his country in the knockout match, and he overcame all odds to score 67 off 52 balls in the knockout match against Australia by five wickets. He was a strong, determined, and optimistic man.
His pain at the time of admission was 1020-nesses, and the medical staff immediately stabilized him and prescribed him with symptomatic drugs. We sent him for a thorough examination to assess his condition, according to Saheer.

But it was the first time a player with a serious infection of this magnitude recovered so quickly.When Rizwan reached the big sixties, we all felt pampered. He has regained a sense of purpose since his illness. Rizwan’s hard work, dedication, and determination are all to be lauded, Saheer said.
