PAK Mohammad Rizwan a T20 Maverick

Thread is about Pakistan cricket
Leading runs scored by a Pakistani Opener in T20

Mohammad Rizwan has the most runs as an opener for Pakistan in T20 Internationals. He needs only 72 more runs to become the first Pakistani player to score 3000 international runs as an opener.

He has achieved this in 66 innings which is essentially 44 runs per Innings, compare it for a second to those players who are revered in this country.

He has the highest average as an opener, most 50s, he has hit the most sixes and has the most POTM (12) and POTS (4) as an opener. Of course, this achievement will be overshadowed or ignored because, as we have all realised by now, the Pakistani fanbase is very agenda based. If it isn't their favourite player they don't really care. But that still doesn't make any of this untrue. The truth is, Mohammad Rizwan is the best T20 opener this country has ever had and his stats are there for all to see.

You don't score so many runs in 15 less innings than the next best because you are useless and don't merit a place in the team. No player has ever showed this level of consistency in this format. His ability to score big almost every game is unrivalled

As an Opener in Matches won

Mohammad Rizwan has the second highest number of runs in matches won as an opener in the history of T20 Internationals. He has 638 runs less than the current leader Rohit Sharma in 42 fewer innings which is basically 53 runs per Innings in matches that Pakistan has won. He has the second most 50s in matches won as an opener and is just one behind Rohit Sharma. He has the highest average and overall the best impact for his team than anyone else on the list.

There have been some wonderful openers in this format, and Mohammad Rizwan has outperformed them all and won his team a lot of matches. These are the stats that those pages you follow will try not to show you because it won't fit in with their agenda of trying to get him out of the team. For a player like Rizwan who isn't a slogger, an SR of 135 is perfect, smarter teams and management would send out a slogger to bat alongside him but not Pakistan.

All it takes is two or three innings at a SR of 160+ and his SR in matches won for his country will cross the 140 mark. Mohammad Rizwan in theory had absolutely no right to be this good in T20 but here he is, rubbing shoulders with the big guns and outperforming them all. These are not made up stats, this is a fact. If he had better PR channels he would have been regarded as one of the best players in the world. He is an all format monster

Now this brings me to a final question. With crazy numbers like these. Why is he belittled so much even with numbers like these?

Average doesn’t matter in t20 cricket brother
 
How did you calculate player impact & batting impact?
Batting Performance Impact:
Batting Strike Rate Benchmark : 130 runs per 100 balls
Batting Average Benchmark : 30 runs per dismissal
Performance Benchmark : 130 (SR) + 30 (Average) = 160
Quality = (Strike Rate + Average) / Performance Benchmark
Frequency = Balls Faced / Match
Player Impact = Quality x Frequency
100Factor = 100s scored / matches played
50 Factor = 50s scored / matches played

Batting Impact = Player Impact + (Player Impact x 100Factor) + (Player Impact x 50Factor/2)


Batting Strike Rate of 130 and an average of 30 is what is generally considered as a benchmark for a good T20 innnings. 50s and 100s still carry its significance as scoring a 50 or a 100 in such a short span has to be considered an achievement in itself as well.

Basically the fundamentals behind this is that no batsman is going to Strike at 130 every innings or Average 30. Even a score of 30 is classified as decent in T20 usually

Now even if I used 140 or 150 SR as a benchmark, Rizwan would still have the highest Impact based on the amount of runs he has scored considering the amount of games he has played too to amass such a large quantity of runs

Leave it to you to focus only on the Average and not the amount of POTM, POTS AND 50s

The guy has scored 2000 runs in 40 innings in wins and here you are chatting absolute shite as usual. Meanwhile Rohit has played 40 more innings as an opener in matches won and only has 600 runs more than him.

To an unbiased eye that is impressive. If what Rizwan has done is so easy then everyone should have the same amount of runs in the exact same amount of matches with a similar strike rate as that of the career SR of Chris Gayle who has scored 1899 runs in his T20i career which is less than the amount of runs Rizwan has scored in winning causes. If you still dispute this as impressive then don't quote me again because I refuse to debate with that level of bias

No single Pakistani player on this list has a SR of 140 let alone the same amount of runs as him so not sure what your argument is here. Either find me a player in Pakistan who is capable of scoring over 2000 runs as an opener in T20 for Pakistan in such few innings or don't bother because I'm not going to entertain a 15 year old

Most of the Pakistani batters are hot garbage but if M Haris is give proper chances he can score at a strike rate of 145 like he did in the World Cup and score runs

Maybe but he still won't get close to the amount of match winning runs as Rizwan
So much for match winning runs babar and rizwan score 45 runs in the PP while the other teams score 65-70 difference is of 20-25 runs and this is the same margin by Pak lost in the Asia cup,t20 wc final and other tournaments.these are match losing runs not winning anyone can score runs In Useless bilateral series,Club cricketers.

So tell us which Salt, Warner & Butler is available in Pakistani domestic circuit?

You should be thankful that we have a stable & reliable batsman like Rizwan instead of mocking him day in day out.

If we want to play modern day cricket,Have a good combination we have to drop one of Babar and rizwan because Babar is the captain he can't be dropped so Rizwan has to be dropped for an attacking batsman.There are countless aggressive openers in the domestic circuit which are either

1) being Blocked from entering the team because Rizwan's spot will be in danger

2) not playing in their position

We have Fakhar batting at 4 who is an opener,M Haris Being not being allowed into the side not letting him go to the BPL resting then dropping him,Saud,Sahibzada Farhan batting at 7

Oh bhai I am fan of Haris but in 9 games played for Pakistan so far his SR is 127 with an average of 14.
Sahibzada Farhan T20i SR is 96 in 5 games and in T20s his SR is 129
Saud Shakeel T20 SR is 131

Tell how are they even close to Rizwan?

He is at the moment the best opener in the country in T20s that's a fact.

Look at this The average strike rate by an opener is 140 but Rizwan has a strike rate of 115.7 in the powerplay
 
Rizwan batted at a strike rate of 110 in the PP in PSL.we have played club cricketers of Ireland and New Zealand this year and England where so far he scored a duck
This is international cricket we are talking about. Who mentioned PSL. He's striking at 150 in the PP this year. Of course you have been proven wrong so you need to change the goalposts somehow. Keep quoting. You aren't getting a reply

Then of course Babar who insists on wanting to open even though he has a PowerPlay SR of 119 in 2024 while Rizwan and Fakhar are striking at 149 and 185 in comparison
Over his career rizwan has a strike rate of 119 in powerplays in his career and we have played NZ ZZZZ team,Ireland,England and NZ in 2024 in which the NZ in which out of 7 only in one he performed that too with no boundaries in the middle overs vs NZ
