'Almighty Never Supports Cruelty..': Ex-PAK Great Schools Mohammad Rizwan For Post Supporting Gaza After Defeat to India

Former Pakistan cricketer Danish Kaneria slammed Mohammad Rizwan after the latter put out a tweet in support of Gaza. Rizwan had slammed a century against Sri Lanka after which he dedicated the knock to his ‘brothers and sisters in Gaza’. Kaneria however schooled Rizwan after Pakistan’s 7-wicket loss to India which saw the wicketkeeper batter score 49 runs.

Taking to social media platform X, Kaneria pointed out that the almighty never supports cruelty, pointing to Israel’s attack on Palestine amid the ongoing war between the two nations.

“Next time dedicate your victory to humanity. The almighty never supports cruelty,” wrote Kaneria, giving away a strong message to Rizwan after Pakistan’s loss to India.

Babar Azam and Co. folded for a paltry 191 runs at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Saturday, while India completed the chase riding on fifties from captain Rohit Sharma and Shreyas Iyer.

Earlier, Rizwan had drawn flak from many quarters after his decision to dedicate his century to the people of Gaza.

“This was for our brothers and sisters in Gaza. Happy to contribute in the win. Credits to the whole team and especially Abdullah Shafique and Hassan Ali for making it easier. Extremely grateful to the people of Hyderabad for the amazing hospitality and support throughout,” wrote Rizwan on social media.

Notably, Kaneria had put out another tweet earlier on Saturday, supposedly aiming an anonymous dig at Rizwan, without naming the star batter.

“Moral of the story is — “Talk less, and focus more on game,” read the post from Kaneria.

Pakistan had successfully chased down a mammoth total of 345 runs against Sri Lanka, thanks to a partnership between Rizwan and Abdullah Shafique.

The Men in Green had won two games back to back after beating Netherlands, but they came up second best against India, losing their first game at the ICC ODI World Cup 2023.
