CHENNAI: Chennai Super Kings’ (CSK) Sameer Rizvi announced his arrival in IPL in spectacular fashion. Facing Gujarat Titans’ Rashid Khan in the first ball of his IPL journey, Rizvi showed nerves of steel and swept the Afghan ace for a six over square-leg. And two deliveries later, he once again slammed Rashid for a maximum, this time over long-off.
The 20-year-old’s cameo of 14 from six balls at Chepauk on Tuesday created a buzz. CSK, a franchise known for reviving the careers of experienced campaigners, splurged Rs 8.4 crore on a young, uncapped Rizvi and surprisingly put him in the playing squad straightaway.
