He Can Bat, Field, And Even Bowl: WATCH All-Rounder Mohammad Rizwan In Action

Wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan scored 79 runs, took a brilliant catch, and even bowled two overs during Sussex vs Durham match.

Mohammad Rizwan is a star in the making for not only Pakistan cricket but globally. Rizwan has been in prime form in all formats be it T20 or Tests and to further enhance his game and gain experience of the tough English conditions, Pakistan's wicketkeeper-batter has gone to play county cricket for Sussex; where he is joined by Indian teammate Cheteshwar Pujara. 

While playing against Durham, Sussex's Rizwan and Pujara had a match to remember as the duo stitched a 154-run stand for the sixth wicket to put the team into a strong position in the first inning. While Pujara scored a double hundred (his second this season along with a century), Rizwan contributed 79 runs as Sussex took a lead of 315 runs. 

Great knock so far, @iMRizwanPak.

In the 2nd inning, Durham had to survive a day and a half to draw the match and they did eventually riding on Alex Lees and Sean Dickson's centuries. 

When the match entered its final stage, Rizwan decided to have some fun as he removed the wicket-keeping gloves and fielded in the slips. There he took an incredible diving catch at the first slip to get rid of Durham captain Scott Borthwick. 

The batter had edged the ball and the ball struck the wicketkeeper's pads and then took off, far from the first slip. Rizwan had to react very early and had to jump backward stretching his body to take a one-handed catch. Rizwan's wicketkeeper instinct made it look very easy.

Rizwan continued to have fun on the field as he was given the ball to bowl two overs. The wicketkeeper bowled some gentle medium pace and conceded five runs in his two overs. 

He does it all. @iMRizwanPak's first over in the @CountyChamp. #GOSBTS pic.twitter.com/G3ZAdatUM7
