RPG Group chairman Harsh Goenka is quite active on social media platform X, formerly Twitter. The billionaire recently shared an interview clip of Pakistan’s new white-ball captain Mohammad Rizwan. In the viral interview, the reporter asks Rizwan about his views on the Board of Cricket Control of India’s (BCCI) refusal to visit Pakistan for ICC Men’s Champions Trophy. His answer appears to be quite incoherent.
“If you can understand what the Pakistan captain Mohammad Rizwan is saying do let me know 😄😀😀,” wrote Goenka.
Goenka’s Twitter post too has gone viral with over 425,000 views, almost 800 ‘Likes’ and more than 500 comments.
Watch the interview clip of Pakistan cricket captain Mohammad Rizwan
The video is titled “Report: blah, blah … etc”. The tongue-in-cheek caption reads: “Interview leke bhi kya pata laga liya reporter ne’ The clip also says ‘Part 2’, so it appears that the video clip shared by Goenka on Twitter is the second part and that there is Part 1 too of the same.
Indian team not to go to Pakistan for Champions Trophy
Recently, the BCCI informed the ICC that the Indian government has advised against visiting Pakistan for the eight-team tournament. The ICC Men’s Champions Trophy is scheduled to take place from February 19 to March 9, 2025. This means that the ICC and PCB will need to devise an alternative plan, likely involving a hybrid model, where India’s matches are held at a neutral venue while the rest of the tournament proceeds in Pakistan.
Last year, Pakistan hosted the Asia Cup in a hybrid format, with India playing its matches in Sri Lanka.
