Former Indian Cricketer VVS Laxman took to Twitter to extend his warm message of support for Pakistan wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan who showed up for the T20 World Cup semifinal after spending two days in the ICU.

Laxman tweeted: “A great example of courage, determination, and resilience. Might not have ended up on the winning side, but Mohd. Rizwan’s grit and fight after being in ICU for two days, truly inspiring. Sport is a great teacher and there is so much to learn from everyone.”

With a never say die spirit, he went on to score a crucial 67 against Australia. He also won millions of hearts throughout the tournament by offering prayers on the ground during intervals and he has just given the fans a lot more to love about him. The latest to jump on that bandwagon is former India cricketer VVS Laxman.

Ever since Rizwan’s picture from his hospital bed has gone viral on the internet, fans, cricketers, and experts have taken to social media to show their appreciation and commend Rizwan for his grit and determination.
