Sameer Rizvi
About
While opportunities at the first-class level remained rather sparse, Rizvi’s big break came after he struck 455 runs from nine innings, including a couple of centuries - with one of them being the fastest at the tournament (off 47 balls) - at the 2023 UP T20 League. The kinetic right-hander’s efforts quickly caught the eyes of IPL selectors and after sparking a bidding war at the auction, he was eventually and rather fittingly bought by the Chennai Super Kings. His IPL debut was nothing short of blockbuster. Coming to the crease in the 19th over and facing Rashid Khan, Rizvi smacked his first delivery for six and just a couple of balls later, he struck another one. He didn’t get too many opportunities thereafter but in the one he did, Sameer Rizvi made a mark.
Rizvi was bought by the Delhi Capitals for Rs. 95 lakh in 2025.
