In the opening game, Delhi were struggling at 26 for 4 in a modest chase. Rizvi stepped in and opened the innings with an unbeaten 70, showing maturity beyond his years. In the very next match, he started again and produced an even more commanding score of 90, leading the team in another tough chase.
What makes Rizvi’s performance stand out is his adaptability. He can absorb the pressure when the wicket falls, but can also accelerate when needed. His partnership with Tristan Stubbs has been particularly valuable, allowing Delhi to rebuild without panic.
As the tournament progresses, opposing teams will start planning specifically for it. But if Rizvi continues this form, Delhi Capitals will not only get a reliable middle-order batsman, but a genuine match-winner who will be able to set up their season.
