The controversy erupted when Colin Munro accused Multan Sultans\u2019 all-rounder Iftikhar Ahmed of chucking, prompting Mohammad Rizwan to confront the batter in a heated argument.<\/p>\n<p>PSL\u2019s official social media handles quickly posted a video clip of the exchange, which went viral. The match officials fined both players 30 percent of their match fees for committing a level 2 breach of the PSL Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel.<\/p>\n<p>A reporter asked Multan Sultans captain Mohammad Rizwan about his views on the incident during a media interaction on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Mohammad Rizwan responded to the question by saying, \u201cIn my understanding, it\u2019s the umpire and match referee\u2019s responsibility to take action.\u201d The wicketkeeper-batter clarified that he told Colin Munro it was the match officials\u2019 job to inspect Iftikhar Ahmed\u2019s bowling action.<\/p>\n<p>Mohammad Rizwan\u2019s Multan Sultans continue to struggle in PSL 10, sitting at the bottom of the points table with only two points from their last five matches.<\/p>\n<p>Multan Sultans secured their first and only win of the ongoing tournament in their fourth game against Lahore Qalandars. However, Islamabad United handed them a defeat in the very next match.<\/p>\n<p>In the same interview, Multan Sultans captain Mohammad Rizwan partially blamed poor fielding for the team\u2019s defeats in PSL 10, stating that fielding lapses make it challenging for the entire team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter conceding 235 in the first game, you can see our bowling improved in the next matches. I think the mistake is in our fielding. If we give opportunities to batters, then we have to dismiss 13 to 14 instead of 11 players,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"alsoread\">\n<h4 class=\"text-uppercase mb-10 mt-20 fs-18\">Also Read<\/h4>\n<div class=\"post-box sty22\">\n<div class=\"post-frame js-ratioHtP\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bolnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/FotoJet-10-4-254x144.jpg\" alt=\"Mohammad Rizwan joins Pakistan\u2019s elite test wicketkeepers\"\/><\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<h5 class=\"title\">Mohammad Rizwan joins Pakistan\u2019s elite test wicketkeepers<\/h5>\n<p>Pakistan&#8217;s wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan achieved a significant milestone on Sunday during the&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bolnews.com\/sports\/2025\/01\/mohammad-rizwan-joins-pakistans-elite-test-wicketkeepers\/\" class=\"post-link\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rizwan speaks out on viral Iftikhar-Munro controversy Munro accused all-rounder Iftikhar Ahmed of chucking, leading to a heated argument.
