Young Uttar Pradesh batter Sameer Rizvi raised a million eyebrows after he was purchased by Chennai Super Kings for a whopping price in the IPL mini auction. 

However, he justified his massive price tag on his maiden IPL 2024 appearance, smashing twin sixes off ace GT spinner Rashid Khan. 

Unlike his teammates, who went for plenty of runs in the ongoing IPL game against CSK, Rashid Khan looked impressive with the ball, dismissing Rachin Ravindra and Shivam Dube. 

However, he was brought down to the earth by CSK debutant Sameer Rizvi, who hammered him for two massive sixes in an over. 

The incident occurred in the 19th over of CSK's innings when GT captain Shubman Gill brought Rashid Khan to complete his spell. After getting Dube out, Rashid faced the wrath of Rizvi, playing his first-ever IPL game. 

As soon as Rizvi entered the middle, Rashid welcomed him with a harmless full length delivery around the leg and middle stump. The batter went for an audacious slog sweep, dispatching the ball into the square leg stands. 

He followed it up with another huge hit, this time over the long off, as Rashid tried to outfox him with a tossed-up googly. 

Although he got out off Mohit Sharma's bowling in the final over, Rizvi's timely onslaught helped CSK breach the 200-run mark, as they finished their innings with a whopping 206-run total on the board.
