Sameer Rizvi, the player who was sold for 8.4 crores in the Indian Premier League 2024, is once again in the headlines. This player is playing in the UP T20 League but there he has come into the limelight not because of his game but because of a statement. Sameer Rizvi said in an interview that he is a very religious person and he prays Namaz daily. He said that the peace he gets by praying is not even found in scoring a century. Apart from this, Sameer Rizvi also said big things about Dhoni, Virat, and Chennai Super Kings.

What did you learn from Dhoni and Virat?

Sameer Rizvi said in an interview that he has learned to stay calm in every situation from Dhoni. On meeting Virat, he said that he is a very down-to-earth person. Talking to him, it does not seem that he is such a big legend. Sameer Rizvi further said that he found the atmosphere of Chennai Super Kings amazing and he would like to play for this team in the future as well.

However, Rizvi admitted that there has been no conversation with Chennai Super Kings regarding his retention. Rizvi further said that the amount received in IPL does not matter to him. He wants that even if any team buys him for 20 lakhs, he should get full opportunity. By the way, Sameer Rizvi failed in IPL 2024. Sameer Rizvi could score only 51 runs in 8 matches. This was Rizvi's first season and he was given a chance as a match finisher.

Showing his strength in UP T20 League

Sameer Rizvi is captaining Kanpur Superstars in the UP T20 League. This player has scored 137 runs in 3 matches at an average of more than 45. Last season also Sameer Rizvi impressed everyone by scoring two centuries. This time also Sameer Rizvi will be expected to perform similarly. Because he will get the benefit of this in the IPL 2025 auction.
