After 22 long years, Mohammad Rizwan and his squad have finally led Pakistan to a series win against Australia on their home turf. This isn’t just a victory; it’s a massive milestone, and Rizwan, Pakistan’s new white-ball captain, is making sure the team stays grounded and focused on even bigger goals ahead.
Taking over from Babar Azam, Rizwan had big shoes to fill. But he stepped into the role with confidence and quickly led Pakistan to a historic ODI series win. It wasn’t an easy road, though.

Australia won the first match by just two wickets, pushing Pakistan to the brink. But instead of faltering, Rizwan’s men staged an impressive comeback, clinching the series 2-1. It was a classic tale of resilience and grit, exactly what you’d expect from a team with Rizwan at the helm.
“Let’s Celebrate, but Stay Humble”
After the series win, Rizwan didn’t just celebrate—he took a moment to address his team with words of wisdom. In a heartfelt speech, he urged his players to enjoy their hard-earned victory but also reminded them to remain humble.
He told the team, “Let’s rejoice, but keep in mind that we must protect our star from any negative impact.” This isn’t just about winning a series; for Rizwan, it’s about setting the right tone, protecting Pakistan’s image, and staying focused on future goals.
Rizwan’s ambitions don’t stop with one series win. With the T20 series against Australia kicking off on November 14, he’s already setting his sights on a clean sweep. He believes his team has the talent to pull off a whitewash, and he’s letting them know it.
“No one was hoping that the team would beat Australia in Australia,” he reminded them, “but if we play like a unit, we can achieve anything—even a T20I whitewash.”
Dreaming Big: World Cups, Champions Trophy, and Olympics?
This victory has sparked something much bigger in Rizwan’s vision for Pakistan cricket. In his address, he emphasized that while the ODI series win is fantastic, the team should be aiming for the stars—World Cups, the Champions Trophy, and even the Olympics.

He’s known for regularly seeking input from both the management and his players, creating a culture where every voice matters. This approach seems to be paying off, as the team looks more united and motivated than ever.
