By the way, let’s remember Mohammad’s best performances.

89 (59) v New Zealand

• Third T20I
• December 2020 
• Napier

This performance against New Zealand in the series’ last T20I would serve as a good example of the innings that kick-started Rizwan’s rise. Pakistan decided to move Rizwan up the order to start the innings after Babar Azam suffered an injury before the series. The wicketkeeper-batter made it count in the last T20I after earning starts in the first two games but failing to capitalise on them.

In order to chase down 174, Rizwan played it safe for the first half of his innings, scoring 42 off 34 before launching himself into the following 25 balls for 47 runs. He maintained his composure and continued to hit the boundaries to keep the needed run rate in check despite wickets tumbling at the other end in the last overs.

He was out of the game in the last over, but not before Pakistan was just one hit away from victory. This was Rizwan’s maiden T20I fifty while playing for Pakistan, and it marked the beginning of an incredible run that has continued to this day.

104* (64) v South Africa

• First T20I
• February 2021
• Lahore

As Pakistan lost three wickets in the first half of the innings, Rizwan, who was batting first, was forced to once again let go of the bat. When Junior Dala was in the eleventh over, Rizwan was barely scoring above run-a-ball before he launched three sixes at him. For the following four overs, he hit a boundary. In the penultimate over, he rode luck when a top edge soared for a six and a dropped catch off the following ball earned him a four.

With a six, he made his first T20I hundred in style and helped Pakistan reach 169/6. The bowlers then maintained their composure and won the match by three runs.

This time, Rizwan earned Player of the Match honors.

74* (50) v South Africa 

• First T20I
• April 2021
• Johannesburg 

With an 18-ball 26 in the Powerplay, Rizwan was significantly quicker to get going in the 189-goal chase. By the time Fakhar Zaman left, Pakistan needed 104 runs off the final 10 overs. This was made possible by his superb 26-run cameo, which allowed Rizwan to get his shot off.

Two boundaries and a six from Rizwan helped calm the crowd’s fears as Henricks rejoined the attack. Rizwan batted through to the end to assist Pakistan to secure a stunning victory, even though Hasan Ali ended the game when Pakistan needed 9 off 4 runs.

79* (55) v India 

• ICC Men’s T20 World Cup
• October 2021
• Dubai 

In the 13th over, Rizwan pulled off a remarkable sweep to smash Varun Chakravarthy for a six just as the needed run rate was approaching 8.5. He quickly increased his fifty with a four off Bumrah.

With 17 out of 18 needed, Rizwan threw himself into the match against Mohammad Shami and destroyed him with two boundaries and a six. In the same over, Babar scored the go-ahead runs as Pakistan achieved one of their most memorable victories in T20Is.

67 (52) v Australia

• ICC Men’s T20 World Cup
• November 2021
• Dubai

Rizwan battled a severe chest infection for two nights in the ICU prior to the semi-final matchup with Australia. However, he played for Pakistan on the day of the semifinal and struck a strong fifty.

Although Rizwan initially had trouble connecting with the ball, Babar Azam at the opposite end kept the scoreboard going. Rizwan quickly got going in the semifinals after hitting a six against Josh Hazlewood in the fifth over. In the fourteenth over, he reached fifty off just 41 balls.

With 1326 runs at the end of 2021, Rizwan has scored the most T20Is runs of any batsman in a single year. He capped an outstanding year with the ICC Men’s T20I Player of the Year Award and has been invincible ever since. So we strongly believe that he’s capable of taking the top spot in the rankings!
