Visakhapatnam: Just before the 2024 season of the Indian Premier League, there was a lot of talk about some young players. In that list, almost every cricket expert was discussing the promising young batsman Sameer Rizvi of Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Everyone was stunned when he hit a six on the very first ball to Rashid Khan, popularly known as Charismatic Khan, against Gujarat Titans in his debut match. MS Dhoni’s reaction in the dressing room was also amazing and everyone started talking about it. Sameer did not stop here. He again hit the last ball of this over hard and sent it outside the long off boundary.
Mukesh Kumar cheated Sameer Rizvi on the very first ball
In his debut match, he scored 14 runs in 6 balls with the help of 2 sixes. Now when he came on the field at an important occasion in Visakhapatnam, Mukesh Kumar, who had established himself in the Indian team, used his experience and trapped Rizvi on a short bouncer. He was caught by Khalil Ahmed and thus Sameer’s innings ended without scoring any runs. Just before him, the wicket of Ajinkya Rahane had fallen, who had played an innings of 45 runs in 30 balls with the help of 5 fours and 2 sixes.
CSK’s star looked helpless in front of the bouncer
Rizvi looked a little uncomfortable on the ball which had a speed of 142.6 km per hour. He had no idea about this kind of ball, but now that he has come to IPL, he has to be cautious. In IPL, international level bowlers bowl and the opposition team’s batsman is welcomed only with a sharp bouncer or an accurate yorker. Everyone knows that the first ball largely determines the batsman’s innings. If he had got a boundary here, it is possible that Rizvi’s confidence would have increased, but Mukesh might have had Rashid Khan’s six in his mind. That’s why he messed up on the very first ball.
The name of India’s new pace businessman is Mayank Yadav.
Sameer Rizvi will have to be careful now
Although it was a normal match, Sameer had to understand that if he faced any problem with the bouncer, the bowler of the opposition team would use this weapon first. Now there is freedom to bowl two bouncers in one over. Even before Rizvi, there were many cricketers who were much talked about before the IPL season, some of them proved to be one day wonders. Sameer’s fans here must be having the same fear.
It is noteworthy that in the IPL auction, the franchise Chennai Super Kings, which is considered very stingy, had opened the treasury for Sameer who wreaked havoc with the bat in the UP League. When he added Sameer to the team for Rs 8.4 crore, everyone’s eyes were fixed on this player. Now Sameer will also have pressure to live up to those expectations. Talking about the match, despite Dhoni’s storm at the end, Delhi Capitals was successful in winning the field.
