Pakistan batting star Mohammad Rizwan has scored a brilliant century against Sri Lanka on Tuesday (October 10).

The wicketkeeper-batter has been a superb servant for his country and showed his class at the grandest stage. Pakistan were in deep trouble and it was Rizwan who stitched a fantastic partnership with Abdullah Shafique, and then carried on his batting onslaught to earn Pakistan a fantastic victory.

But despite his brilliant batting, a distinct act from Mohammad Rizwan has baffled the spectators and the fans.

Mohammad Rizwan avoids Century Ritual

Rizwan is a player who generally kisses the soil of the stadium after scoring a century at any venue. Like the rituals of many Pakistani players, he has been doing it in all of his previous matches.

But on Tuesday, as the batter reached the three-figure mark, Rizwan didn't kiss the ground of the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Hyderabad. That got the netizens asking whether Rizwan avoided kissing the ground as it is Indian soil.

Rizwan ended up staying unbeaten for a scintillating 131 as Pakistan chased down a record-breaking 345 runs to win the match.
