In recent times, Mohammad Rizwan has often trended more for his English-speaking attempts than his cricketing performances. The Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter has been under the scanner for both — his dip in form and his earnest, sometimes awkward, English interviews during international tournaments like the Champions Trophy. Even former Australian cricketer Brad Hogg playfully joined in, poking fun at Rizwan’s language skills.

But now, Rizwan has turned the tables — not by changing his game or polishing his accent, but by embracing his roots. In a powerful team address ahead of the new PSL season, the Multan Sultans captain chose to speak entirely in Urdu, leaving fans surprised and intrigued, especially since the squad includes several overseas players.

Known for trying to rally his troops in English during previous seasons, Rizwan’s switch to Urdu wasn’t just a linguistic decision — it was a passionate call to arms. With the PSL season about to kick off, he made it clear that the goal was the final and nothing less.

“All of you, whether big or small, are part of Multan Sultans. Remember — our thinking will shape our journey, not just in this tournament, but in life,” Mohammad Rizwan declared with conviction. He emphasized focusing on positivity and determination, urging the players to fix their gaze on the final from day one.

“Even if our chance is 0.99%, our conversation will be about being champions. It’s about heart, hunger, and belief,” he added.

In a world obsessed with articulation, Rizwan reminded everyone that leadership is not about language — it’s about intent.
