As the 31st match of the ongoing World Cup was played between Pakistan and Bangladesh in Kolkata, Pakistan’s Mohammad Rizwan has entered the list of top five batsmen who have scored the most runs in the ongoing World Cup in India. Mohammad Rizwan scored 26 runs off 21 deliveries not out while chasing the 204-run target set by Bangladesh. Mohamed Rizwan entered the top five, ahead of Aiden Markram from South Africa and Virat Kohli from India.
