Sameer Rizvi Bags a Golden Duck [x.com]
Sameer Rizvi, the promising young batter for Chennai Super Kings (CSK), faced disappointment in the ongoing IPL 2024 match against Delhi Capitals at Vizag. After a splendid innings in the previous match, Rizvi fell prey to a bouncer from Mukesh Kumar and departed for a duck.
The 13th match of the IPL witnessed Rizvi's dismissal in the 14th over, just after the wicket of Ajinkya Rahane. Mukesh Kumar claimed Rizvi's wicket, marking a significant setback for CSK. Despite a dream debut where Rizvi showcased his boundary-hitting prowess against Gujarat Titans, he couldn't navigate through Kumar's bowling onslaught.
Watch - Sameer Rizvi departs
Mukesh Kumar's consecutive wickets rattled CSK's lineup, with Rizvi departing without even scoring a single run. A well-executed catch by Khaleel Ahmed at short third man sealed Rizvi's fate. The delivery, clocking at 142.6 kmph, induced a leading edge from Rizvi's bat, sending the ball straight into Ahmed's safe hands.
Earlier in the match, Delhi Capitals posted a formidable total of 191/5 in their 20 overs at the Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA–VDCA Stadium. The DC skipper, Rishabh Pant, played a pivotal role in anchoring the innings with a brilliant half-century, ensuring a strong finish for his team.
At the time of writing, Chennai Super Kings at 120 for 5 in 16 overs
