Israr Rizvi has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 12.12, set at Indian Nationals 2019, puts him in the top 3.2% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 92nd in India. Until January 2010, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since August 2018, he has put 282 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 62% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.89 in August 2018 to 11.39, a 12% improvement. Israr has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% of everyone who has ever competed.

Reading this page: a single is one solve's time · an average is the middle three of five solves, best and worst discarded · a PB is a personal best · a DNF (did not finish) is an attempt with no valid result: a popped piece, an unsolved face, an over-limit memorisation · top X% compares against everyone ever ranked in that event, which is fairer than raw rank because event pools differ tenfold.
