Shashank Kishore talks about Rizvi: Rizvi, 20, hit the most sixes for Kanpur Superstars at the UP T20 League. He also made two blistering hundreds and finished with 455 runs in nine innings in the tournament. It earned him a trial at three franchises, including Punjab Kings, which his state coach Sunil Joshi is a part of. However, commitments with UP's Under-23 squad meant Rizvi had to miss the trials. But he gave more than a glimpse of his potential in his first outing with the Under-23s, smashing 91 off 65 deliveries in a one-day game against Rajasthan. That was the start of a dream run that culminated in UP winning the tournament, with Rizvi hitting a match-winning 84 from 50 balls in the final. He finished the tournament as the highest run-getter.
