Off the field, Rifat is seen as a humble figure, often crediting his team’s collective efforts over his personal accolades. Perhaps it’s this very ethos that defines his cricket—in moments when the game demanded a hero, Rifat often played the part not with grand declarations but with quiet resolve and palpable impact.
