Rizvi's Epic Redemption Lights Up DC's IPL Charge
Rizvi's power-hitting backs up that big price tag. From CSK flop straight to DC hero.
Sameer Rizvi's got Delhi Capitals fans buzzing in IPL 2026. After that rough patch at CSK—snapped up for Rs 8.4 crore, then let go for Rs 95 lakh—the Uttar Pradesh youngster's piling on the runs. Picture this: an unbeaten 70 against LSG. Then a match-winning 90 off 51 balls—7 fours, 7 sixes—ripping into Shardul Thakur and Deepak Chahar. Holding onto him instead of trading for Sanju Samson? Smart move.
Dropped a duck against GT in that heartbreaking 1-run defeat. Still, Rizvi's on a heater. Three IPL Player of the Match awards in a row now. Joins Kohli and Buttler in that rare club.
