As Chennai Super Kings took down Gujarat Titans to register their second-consecutive win of the IPL 2024 season, the Yellow Army discovered a new star, UP batter Sameer Rizvi, who played a dazzling cameo. Celebrating this feat a video of Rizvi's family has gone viral on social.
Coming to bat in the 19th over, Sameer Rizvi didn't waste any time and slog-swept one of the world's T20 bowlers, Rashid Khan for a maximum on the first ball of his IPL career. Then the 20-year-old found a double before smashing another six on the last ball of the over. Rizvi then got out in the next over and walked back to the dressing room after smashing 14 in just six balls.

The idea is to try and learn as much as possible: Rizvi on interacting with MS Dhoni
Speaking in a video shared by the IPL, Sameer Rizvi shared how he has been in constant conversation with MS Dhoni as he hopes to learn a lot from the former Indian captain during his time in the IPL. He said, "I was delighted when CSK picked me up in the auction because meeting Bhaiya (Dhoni) was a dream for me, let alone playing together."
"We got to play together and I had several nets sessions where I took a lot of advice from Bhaiya and the coaching staff as well. The idea is to try and learn as much as possible," he continued.
