Mohammad Rizwan during a Press Conference
Whether it’s his unintentionally funny speeches in the dressing room or his witty sledging during intense matches, Rizwan has provided fans with plenty of laughter. His expressive reactions, animated conversations behind the stumps, and pure energy on the field have made him a fan favourite. Let’s take a closer look at some of Mohammad Rizwan’s most iconic and funny moments that broke the internet.
Mohammad Rizwan has always been known not just for his solid performances on the field but also for his strong moral values and leadership qualities. However, it’s not just his skills that grab attention—his words and actions often end up becoming viral moments, and one such incident took place during a Pakistan Super League (PSL) season. Rizwan was leading the Multan Sultans, and after losing a close and heartbreaking match that ended their hopes of winning the tournament, the mood in the dressing room was understandably low. Trying to lift the spirits of his teammates, Rizwan began a pep talk with a sentence that would soon take over social media.
He said, “Abhi ham log clap karenge, aur wo clapping aise hogi, ki ham log champions hai”. The way he said it, with full passion and seriousness, but ended up sounding so dramatic that fans couldn’t stop laughing. Memes and jokes followed instantly, and it became a moment everyone was talking about. While some found it funny, Pakistan fans came to his defence, saying he was just trying to motivate his team in his own way. And honestly, that’s Rizwan, serious, passionate, and unintentionally hilarious at times.
In cricket, the game of Momentum is always crucial, and to make it even more better, Mohammad Rizwan took it even more seriously when he gave a unique post-match statement after Pakistan’s loss to Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup 2022 final. Despite being the top scorer for his team with a solid 55, Rizwan couldn’t steer Pakistan to victory, as the Men in Green were bowled out for 147 while chasing 171. Sri Lanka, after stumbling to 58/5, turned the game around thanks to Bhanuka Rajapaksa’s unbeaten 71 and Wanindu Hasaranga’s 36. Rizwan acknowledged their fightback, but what caught everyone’s attention was his rather “deep” analysis of momentum.
He said, “End me batting me momentum unhone le liya aur batting ke time momentum hamne de diya, to jaha se dono momentum lene ke the. wo hamne de diye”. While Rizwan tried to explain how Pakistan lost grip in both innings, the way he framed his statement had fans scratching their heads and laughing at the same time. Social media exploded with memes and jokes around Rizwan’s ‘momentum theory’, as people struggled to decode what he truly meant. Yet, his sincerity and passion stood out, and once again, Rizwan became a viral sensation, this time not for his shots but for his words.
Language barriers have always been there in the leagues when overseas players come to join local teams, and a hilarious example of this played out in the PSL 2025. Multan Sultans’ captain Mohammad Rizwan became the centre of attention, not for his cricket, but for a speech that left everyone amused. In a motivational team talk ahead of the season, Rizwan chose to deliver his entire address in Urdu, despite the presence of several foreign players like David Willey, Chris Jordan, and others in the squad. Known for his passion and leadership, Rizwan usually tries to communicate in English during press interactions, often drawing attention (and trolling) for his efforts.
However, this time, he completely ditched English and went all-in with his mother tongue. The result? The overseas players looked absolutely clueless and confused, sparking laughter and reactions on social media. Rizwan’s message was heartfelt, urging his team to focus on passion and positivity, always keeping the final in mind, but the language choice made it unintentionally comical. Fans found it to be a light-hearted and funny incident, highlighting the kind of moments that make franchise cricket so entertaining beyond the game itself. Despite the moment of laughter, Rizwan remains focused on leading Multan Sultans to another title, having taken them to one championship and three runner-up finishes since 2021.
“Champions team is never afraid of the results!” This iconic one-liner from Mohammad Rizwan’s old speech has once again taken over the internet, especially after Pakistan’s recent cricketing struggles in the ICC Champions Trophy. The video, which resurfaced online after Pakistan’s loss, shows Rizwan addressing his PSL side, Multan Sultans, in a team huddle following a disappointing defeat during the Pakistan Super League season. Multan Sultans had narrowly missed a golden opportunity to seal a crucial match, which eventually cost them a spot in the final. Emotions were low, but Captain Rizwan tried to lift spirits by giving a passionate motivational speech.
However, his broken English quickly turned the serious moment into unintentional comedy. Lines like “Champions team is never afraid of the results” and “This is not end, this is just start!” had fans laughing more than feeling inspired. While Rizwan’s intent was genuinely to encourage his players, his grammar and delivery made the speech go viral for all the funny reasons. Social media memers jumped on it instantly, and soon the clip became a template for jokes and reels. Despite the laughs, fans also appreciated Rizwan’s honesty, positivity, and leadership.
The thing about Mohammad Rizwan is, whether he wins or loses, he never stops inspiring. But this time, his motivational phrase “Win hai ya learn hai” turned into meme gold after Multan Sultans suffered a high-scoring defeat to Karachi Kings in the PSL 2025. In a thrilling contest, Rizwan led from the front with a magnificent unbeaten 105 off 69 balls, including 9 fours and 5 sixes. With explosive late cameos from Kamran Ghulam (36 off 19) and Michael Bracewell (44* off 17), Multan posted a daunting total of 234/3. However, Karachi Kings, under new skipper David Warner, chased down the massive target with four balls to spare.
Tim Seifert’s 32 (16) gave a brisk start, but it was James Vince who stole the show with a breathtaking 101 off just 42 balls, registering the third-fastest century in PSL history. Khushdil Shah’s powerful 60 off 37 balls ensured Karachi cruised to a four-wicket win. After the game, Karachi’s official social media page posted a cheeky AI-generated video of Vince and Khushdil dancing, mocking Rizwan’s iconic “Win or Learn” line with the caption: “No learns, only wins”. What was meant to be a captain’s call to stay positive in tough times became a viral moment, blending cricket drama with light-hearted humour across the internet.
