After being left out of the playing XI in Lahore’s opening game against Islamabad United on Friday, the 22-years-old grabbed his chance in style against Quetta Gladiators at Rawalpindi Stadium, where Lahore cruised to a 79-run victory.

Rishad stood out with the ball, finishing with impressive figures of 3 for 31 from his four overs, helping to bundle Quetta out for 140 in their pursuit of a massive 220-run target.
David Wiese, whose injury opened up a spot for Rishad, was full of praise for the young spinner, highlighting the important role he played in the absence of Rashid Khan, who had left the franchise two seasons ago.
"Replacing Rashid Khan is never easy. We missed him badly last year as well. Rishad is a fantastic bowler and a real asset for us. Hopefully, he can keep performing like this," said the Namibia all-rounder.

Lahore captain Shaheen Afridi also lauded Rishad’s impact during the post-match presentation.
"When we brought Rishad in today, we were looking for a bowler who could strike in the middle overs. With Wiese carrying a few niggles, Rishad was the perfect fit, especially since Asif Afridi was handling the new ball," said the Qalandars skipper.
