Rizvi expressed that he was experiencing an indescribable sensation. He found it incredibly challenging to put into words, leaving him at a loss for expression. Currently, he is taking a moment to fully comprehend the magnitude of the situation. Rizvi eagerly anticipates playing for CSK.
At the time of writing, the phones in the background were incessantly ringing, and for good reason. The UP batter emerged as the priciest uncapped player in the IPL 2024 auction.
During the IPL mock auction on Jio Cinema, Abhinav Mukund, a former India cricketer, shared that an IPL scout informed him about Sameer Rizvi being a right-handed version of Suresh Raina. According to Mukund, Rizvi’s ability to hit against spin is comparable to Raina’s, which might attract the interest of several teams.
RP Singh, the former pacer, previously expressed his belief that Rizvi would be an ideal addition to the Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL 2024 due to their lack of a reliable finisher. While LSG possesses considerable strength in their top order, they may require additional support in the lower-order. Aakash Chopra concurred with Singh’s assessment, highlighting Rizvi’s ability to hit sixes effortlessly.
In the inaugural edition of the UP T20 League, Sameer Rizvi achieved the distinction of scoring the fastest century. This young batsman boasts an impressive average of 49.16 in domestic T20 matches, with a strike rate of 134.70.
Raina further commented on Rizvi, stating, “Sameer Rizvi exhibits a distinct approach in his batting. Representing an UP team would greatly boost his confidence. He possesses a playing style akin to Badoni but employs a more direct bat.”
