Young batter Sameer Rizvi is enjoying his time with the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in his debut season in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Rizvi, who grabbed the limelight after his heroics in the inaugural edition of the UPT20, was picked by CSK for a whopping Rs 8.4 crore at the IPL 2024 players auction last year. He gave a good account for himself in CSK’s second game of the season against Gujarat Titans, hitting Rashid Khan for two sixes.

Taking to Instagram, Rizvi shared a heartfelt post for former CSK skipper MS Dhoni, who relinquished his captaincy on the eve of the IPL 2024 opener. Rizvi asserted that playing with Dhoni has been a dream come true for him.

“Soaking in all the widsom from the GOAT. From watching him conjure magic on the TV screen to sharing the dressing room with him, a dream come true indeed!,” Rizvi captioned a couple of photos.

CSK also shared a video where Dhoni can be seen having a chat with Rizvi in the training camp.

After the match against GT, Rizvi revealed the advice he received from the franchise’s poster boy and legendary former skipper Dhoni.

“The way the situation was in the 19th over when I was sent, I was going to hit it big if a delivery was on my radar. The very first ball was in my area and I smashed it for a six,” said Rizvi, who shot to fame with his performances in the UPT20 League last year.

Rizvi said that he was happy to be picked up by the Yellow franchise since it was his life-long dream to meet Dhoni.

“When auction happened, CSK picked me up, I was happy because meeting MS Dhoni was a dream, let alone playing with him. It has been fulfilled. I got to learn a lot from him and the staff. I am trying to learn as much as possible and do well,” said the batter.

Recalling Dhoni’s advice, Rizvi said that India’s World Cup-winning skipper asked him to play his natural game.

“MSD has told me to play the way I do, telling me that the game is the same, the skill is the same, but the mindset is different. He has asked me not to feel pressure and to play as per the situation. He told me to take care of my nerves in the first match in front of a huge crowd,” said Rizvi.

He scored 455 runs in 10 matches at an average of over 50, with two tons and a fifty. His runs came at a strike rate of over 188. In 11 T20s for UP, he has scored 295 runs at an average of 49.16 and an SR of over 134, with two fifties.

First impression is the best impression and Chennai Super Kings batter Sameer Rizvi definitely made one. The youngster announced his arrival on the big stage in style when he slog-swept Rashid Khan for a six off the first ball he faced in the IPL against Gujarat Titans on March 26.

Two balls later, he lofted the Afghan leggie for another six down the ground, showing why CSK shelled out ₹8.4 crore for the Uttar Pradesh batter.

“When Rashid came to bowl in the 19th over, the coach told me if the wicket falls you will go out to bat.

“After that, it was set in my mind that if they are sending me at this point in the match, anyone who walks in will be expected to smash boundaries,” said Rizvi about his first innings in IPL during a select media interaction on Thursday.

“So, only one thing was going on in my head — I have to go out and hit it big — I was clear about that.”

Though Rizvi made his debut in the season opener against RCB, he got to bat only in the second game and felt it helped ease his nerves. “I was a little nervous in the first match when I was fielding, but I never got to bat. In the second match, I think I got used to the crowd and that’s why I wasn’t nervous and did not feel the pressure.”

For a side known to prefer experienced players over young guns, Rizvi’s selection at a high price showed Super Kings’s faith in his abilities.

Unfazed

But, the 20-year-old from Meerut is unfazed about his price tag and said he is living his dream of meeting and playing with M.S. Dhoni. “There’s no pressure (of the price tag). It’s about how I perform and score. M.S. bhaiya gave me a few tips on handling pressure and playing in front of the crowd. He told me to play my natural game and to focus on performance as the price tag is different for everyone.”

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) batter Sameer Rizvi made an impactful Indian Premier League (IPL) debut against Gujarat Titans (GT) on Tuesday and he talked about the advice he received from the franchise’s poster boy and legendary former skipper MS Dhoni ahead of his first appearance at the major level. The fortress at Chepauk stood untouched as the Chennai Super Kings registered a comprehensive 63-run win over the Gujarat Titans on Monday in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024.

During this match, Rizvi, bought by CSK for Rs 8.4 crores in the IPL auction held last year, came in the 19th over and took one of the best T20 bowlers of the world, Rashid Khan, to the cleaners with a massive six on the very first ball he faced in his IPL career. He would go on to hit him for one more six before perishing for a short, but a valuable cameo of 14 in six balls. Despite the amount of runs being not so big, Rizvi’s big-hitting and positive intent while facing a world-class bowler stood out. Many lauded the fact that he did not sweat at all in launching Rashid for those two sixes.

In a video posted by the IPL’s official X handle, Rizvi said that he was determined to launch any ball coming into his radar, into the skies.

“The way the situation was in the 19th over when I was sent, I was going to hit it big if a delivery was on my radar. The very first ball was in my area and I smashed it for a six,” said Rizvi, who shot to fame with his performances in the UPT20 League last year.

He scored 455 runs in 10 matches at an average of over 50, with two tons and a fifty. His runs came at a strike rate of over 188. In 11 T20s for UP, he has scored 295 runs at an average of 49.16 and an SR of over 134, with two fifties.

Earlier in February, he smashed a triple century during the Colonel CK Nayadu Trophy quarterfinals against Saurashtra, Rizvi smashed 312 runs in 266 balls. His knocks had 33 fours and 12 sixes. His runs came at a strike rate of 117.29.

Rizvi said that he was happy to be picked up by the Yellow franchise since it was his life-long dream to meet Dhoni.

“When auction happened, CSK picked me up, I was happy because meeting MS Dhoni was a dream, let alone playing with him. It has been fulfilled. I got to learn a lot from him and the staff. I am trying to learn as much as possible and do well,” said the batter.

Recalling Dhoni’s advice, Rizvi said that India’s World Cup-winning skipper asked him to play his natural game.

“MSD has told me to play the way I do, telling me that the game is the same, the skill is the same, but the mindset is different. He has asked me not to feel pressure and to play as per the situation. He told me to take care of my nerves in the first match in front of a huge crowd,” said Rizvi.

On his jersey number, Rizvi said that he originally wore number seven but had to settle for number one as his favourite number was already in use by none other than Dhoni.

“My jersey number is seven. That belongs to bhaiya (Dhoni). Hence, I could not get it. So I got jersey number one. In this team, everyone loves and supports each other. I was playing IPL for the first time and everyone cheered for me with all their hearts. Whenever I want to ask something, I ask my fellow players. I ask them about the mindset of batting. I want to learn these things,” he concluded.

Coming into the match, GT put CSK to bat first. Fiery knocks from Rachin Ravindra (46 in 20 balls, with six fours and three sixes), skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad (46 in 36 balls, with five fours and a six) and Dube (51 in 23 balls, with two fours and five sixes) took CSK to 206/6 in 20 overs.

Rashid Khan (2/49) and Spencer Johnson (1/35) were among the picks of the bowlers for GT.

In the run-chase, GT kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Sai Sudharsan (37 in 31 balls, with three fours), Wriddhiman Saha (21 in 17 balls, with four boundaries) and David Miller (21 in 16 balls, with three fours) tried to put up a fight, but it was just not enough. GT was restricted to 143/8 and lost by 63 runs.

Tushar Deshpande (2/21), Deepak Chahar (2/28) and Mustafizur Rahman (2/30) were the top bowlers for CSK.

Dube took home the ‘Player of the Match’ award.

A combined effort from the batters powered the Chennai Super Kings to a massive total of 206/6 against the Gujarat Titans in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. GT would need to pull off a record chase at Chepauk following Shivam Dube and Rachin Ravindra’s demolition. Put to bat, CSK got off to a flying start, despite losing Rachin Ravindra’s wicket in the final over of the powerplay. The young New Zealand opener once again spread his wings in the powerplay and amassed 46 off just 20 deliveries. He took the onus of scoring runs, while skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad provided the ideal support on the other end. Rachin’s fiery knock brought up the third successive 50-plus opening partnership for CSK against GT.

Rachin’s transition from strike rotation to effortlessly picking up boundaries was a sight to behold as he struck six fours and three maximums. Rashid Khan brought an end to Rachin’s onslaught but the left-handed batter’s effort helped CSK amass 69/1.

Ajinkya Rahane walked back before he could adjust to the surface. Shivam Dube came and wasted no time getting going as he sent the ball sailing into the stand on two consecutive deliveries. Gaikwad (46), who used a cautious approach, got nicked by Spencer Johnson before he could complete his 50.

Dube continued his onslaught on one end while Daryl Mitchell took his time to get his innings going. The left-handed batter picked up Mohit Sharma’s back-of-the-hand delivery and smoked it straight into the stands. He picked up a double in the final ball of his over to raise his bat for 50 in 22 deliveries.

GT skipper Shubman Gill introduced Rashid back into the attack and instantly reaped rewards. The Afghanistan spinner removed Dube on the second ball of the 19th over.

Sameer Rizvi came in and joined the action straightaway with a six on his very first ball in the IPL. On the final ball of the over, he tonked another maximum to bring up 15 runs from the over.

In the final over, he tried to pick Mohit Sharma’s undercooked yorker but failed to get the elevation, with David Miller taking the catch comfortably. CSK ended the innings with a score of 206/6.
