Rizwan became the second Pakistan batsman to score a century in the shortest format after Ahmed Shehzad during the series opener in Lahore on Thursday.
He is the only the second wicketkeeper to have struck a ton across all versions of the game.

However, this did not sit well with the wicketkeeper-batsman who took a jibe at the Lahore Qalandars player with a tweet of his own.
