Eagle-eyed Twitter users singled out pictures of the presenter and Rizwan, with one writing, “Zainab Abbas during the PCB awards realised Rizwan wasn’t comfortable with her standing in front so she decided to conduct his interview from the back. Great presence of mind and a hallmark of a true professional."

Zainab is always respectful towards every individual and as so M Rizwan is. Great mutual respect gesture from both of them

So wholesome ✨
Rizwan respects women so he doesn't look directly at them. Therefore Zainab went behind his chair in award ceremony so he won't be uncomfortable ♥️ #muhammadrizwan #PakistanZindabad #PakistanCricket #Pakistan #Pak #Islam pic.twitter.com/w41O64BStx
