A rejuvenated outlook couldn’t help the Rawalpindi-based side much in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2026, as the Mohammad Rizwan-led side is struggling at the bottom of the points table. The Rawalpindi Pindiz have lost six games on the trot, but the skipper keeps on pushing his teammates not to lose hope.
In a latest video shared by the franchise, skipper Rizwan could be seen motivating his teammates. In a minute-long video, the wicketkeeper-batter could be seen asking his player to keep believing in themselves as half the tournament is still left.
“Ye champion team hai end tak, tak 0.011 percent chance bhi hai (It’s a champion team, until there’s a 0.011 percent chance,” Rizwan said.
“We have to keep our hopes alive that we can win.”
“I’ll tell
you a story. When Multan Sultans became champions, we lost the first four matches on the trot. We were one defeat away from elimination. But the almighty helped us, and we won 4-5 consecutive games and went on to become the champion.”
“Humein ladte rehna hai, ek champion ki tarah (We have to keep fighting like a champion). It doesn’t matter if we lose; we should fight like champions. No one should be disappointed, just enjoy your time,” he concluded.
We’re not ones to back down. 🙌#MadeOfPindi #WeThePindiz #HBLPSL11 pic.twitter.com/4583B9Scq1

While the local players reacted to Rizwan’s speech, the overseas members of the team – the likes of Sam Billings, Daryl Mitchell and bowling coach Courtney Walsh sat palm-faced, probably for not getting what the skipper said, in Urdu.
The netizens noticed their expressions, leading to funny posts on social media.
Look at Sam billing face 😂

This is Mohammad Rizwan, the captain of PSL team Rawalpindiz
Instead of working on skills, he tells his teammates, Allah will come and win us 3-4 matches and make us champions.
So instead of practicing, they started offering namaz.
Result: 6 LOSSES🤣

The Pindiz endured a tough debut campaign in 2026, struggling to find momentum in their inaugural season.
Led by Mohammad Rizwan, the side suffered a string of defeats and finished at the bottom, exposing gaps in balance and execution.
