The feat of taking the most catches in one ODI is now also next to Rizwan's name. This wicketkeeper took 6 batter catches alone in the match against Australia. Although he could not make a record with six catches. 17 people have the same feat of taking 6 catches in one ODI match as Rizwan.

And among them, Australia's legendary former star Adam Gilchrist alone has this feat six times. Sarfraz Ahmed also has this feat before Rizwan for Pakistan. He achieved this feat against South Africa in 2015 World Cup.

However, the achievement of taking six catches as a captain and wicketkeeper was also held by only one person before Rizwan. England's Alec Stewart set this record against Zimbabwe in July 2000. Rizwan shared that record.

Haris Rauf single-handedly crushed Australia with the ball on Rizwan's day. This pacer picked up 5 wickets at the cost of 29 runs in 8 overs. As a result, Rauf's wicket in 39 ODIs is now 77. Which is the highest among pacers from full member countries during this period.

Oman's Bilal Khan is the only bowler to surpass Rauf in terms of wickets taken since debut. During this time he took 83 wickets. However, he has achieved this feat as an ICC associate member team. Rauf's achievement on the other hand is among full-member countries. Which is a great achievement in this format.

Because, through this, Rauf surpassed the milestone of 76 wickets set by legendary spinner Saqlain Mushtaq and star pacer Shaheen Afridi.
