On Sunday, December 22, Pakistan defeated South Africa by 36 runs in the 3rd ODI, completing a 3-0 whitewash in the series. Mohammad Rizwan, leading the side, has added his name to an elite list of Asian captains. He joined Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni, and Mahela Jayawardene as the fourth Asian captain to whitewash a SENA (South Africa, England, New Zealand, Australia) team in their home conditions.

Here is the complete list of captains:

• Mahela Jayawardene (v England, 2006 ODIs)
• MS Dhoni (v Australia, 2016 T20Is)
• Virat Kohli (v New Zealand, 2020 T20Is)
• Mohammad Rizwan (v South Africa, 2024 ODIs)

Rizwan’s Leadership Journey

Rizwan took charge of the Pakistan team in white-ball cricket after Babar Azam stepped down as captain. His captaincy debut came against Australia, where he lost his first ODI but bounced back to secure a 2-1 series win.

Under Rizwan, Pakistan’s ODI performance has been remarkable. The team has played six matches, winning five. While they lost the T20I series to South Africa, Rizwan’s team dominated the ODIs, securing a clean sweep.

Pakistan’s next challenge is a two-match Test series against South Africa, where Shan Masood will lead the team.
