Born on 4th November 2000, Rishiv Joshi's cricketing journey began in the bustling locales of Mumbai, where the thud of a cricket ball on cement is as familiar as the call of street vendors. Encouraged by his cricket-loving family, Joshi first picked up a cricket ball at the age of eight. Even at such a tender age, the young boy displayed an affinity for dynamic bowling, a flair that would later become his trademark.

As a left-arm-fast-medium bowler, Rishiv honed his skills in the local leagues, where his ability to swing the ball both ways raised eyebrows and expectations. His early performances earned him a spot in the Under-19 Maharashtra team, where he spearheaded their attack with remarkable discipline and consistency. His scintillating performances in the youth circuit did not go unnoticed, and in 2018, he made his competitive debut for the Maharashtra senior team in the Ranji Trophy.

Rishiv Joshi’s rapid rise in domestic cricket highlighted him as a formidable force; the 2020-21 season was a testament to his burgeoning talent. He secured an awe-inspiring 60 wickets at an average that turned heads nationwide. His knack for delivering when it mattered most was exemplified in a fiery spell against Karnataka, where he took six wickets in a thrilling semi-final, guiding his team to a rare final appearance.

Rishiv’s reputation was further bolstered by his ability to perform in high-pressure situations, particularly in his skirmishes against long-standing rivals Tamil Nadu. He consistently delivered crucial spells, often swinging matches in his team’s favour and etching his name into the annals of Indian domestic cricket.

Equally adept with the bat, Rishiv's left-handed stance added substantial value in the lower order. His crucial 45-run innings, combined with a five-wicket haul against Delhi in 2022, is still remembered as a highlight of his career.

Beyond statistics, it is Rishiv’s relentless drive and competitive spirit that have left a lasting impact on the game. Fans celebrate not just his skill but his sportsmanship and leadership on the field, qualities that inspire young cricketers in the bustling lanes of Mumbai, where he too began his journey. As Rishiv continues to make strides in cricket, his story stands as a testament to the power of passion, perseverance, and the indomitable spirit of the game.
