Rizwan, born on June 1, 1992, is playing for Pakistan in international cricket since 2015. 

The duo recently created records for themselves, adding several accolades to their name following a remarkable win over South Africa in the 3rd T20I at Centurion.

They both created highest partnership for any wicket in T20I run chases by any team. Previously, the record was with Matin Guptil and Kane Williamson who had scored 171* against Pakistan at Hamilton in 2016.
