[Watch] Shaheen Afridi checks on Mohammad Rizwan after Haris Rauf's delivery hits him hard on the arm in PSL 2023

Shaheen Afridi checked on Mohammad Rizwan in the ongoing Pakistan Super League match between the Lahore Qalandars and the Multan Sultans after a bouncer from Haris Rauf hit Rizwan on the arm. The incident happened during the fifth over of the Sultans' innings.

Multan Sultans skipper Mohammad Rizwan opened the innings with Shan Masood as they aimed to chase down the 181-run target set by the Lahore Qalandars. Rizwan and Masood got the Sultans off to a decent start, adding 29 runs in the first four overs.

Haris Rauf came in to bowl the fifth over for the Lahore Qalandars and Rizwan hit him for a boundary on the third ball. Soon after, Rauf bowled a short delivery at 141 kmph that hit Rizwan on the arm after he missed an attempted pull shot.

Rizwan lost his grip on the bat as well. He took a leg bye and crossed ends, after which Lahore Qalandars captain Shaheen Afridi went and checked on his Multan Sultans counterpart. The PSL shared a video of the incident on Instagram and captioned the clip as follows:
