Sameer Rizvi\u2019s dream debut for Chennai Super Kings (CSK)<\/strong><\/a> was a highlight in their convincing 63-run victory over Gujarat Titans (GT)<\/strong> in the IPL 2024 on Tuesday. The big-hitting batter, acquired by CSK for a hefty Rs 8.40 crore last year, announced his arrival in style.<\/p>\n Coming into bat at No. 6 after Shivam Dube<\/strong>\u2018s dismissal, Rizvi faced T20 specialist Rashid Khan<\/strong> for the very first ball of his IPL career. In a moment that will be etched in his memory, Rizvi dispatched the ace spinner for a massive six over deep backward square leg.<\/p>\n Living up to his reputation as a six-hitting specialist, Rizvi wasn\u2019t done there. He followed his first six with a double and another dot ball before launching another six off Rashid\u2019s bowling. Rizvi displayed nerves of steel, stepping out and slogging the last ball of the 19th over \u2013 a slightly fuller delivery outside off \u2013 for a towering six over long-off. The power on the shot ensured it cleared the boundary with ease.<\/p>\n Rizvi\u2019s family, watching the match back home in Meerut, erupted in joy witnessing their son\u2019s dream debut unfold on the big stage.<\/p>\n \u201cPehli ball pe chakka keh ke gaya tha\u2019 (He said he will hit a six on the first ball),\u201d<\/em> stated one of the family members.<\/p>\n Even CSK captain MS Dhoni<\/strong> couldn\u2019t hide his elation, sporting a wide smile after Rizvi\u2019s audacious six-hitting against Rashid.<\/p>\n The reaction from Sameer Rizvi’s family when he smashed 2 sixes in his debut IPL innings. \u2764\ufe0f<\/p>\n \u2013 Video of the day\u2026!!! #SameerRizvi<\/a> #CSKvsGT<\/a> #CSK<\/a> #WhistlePodu<\/a> #MSDhoni<\/a> #IPL2024<\/a> #IPL<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/F8l0SsWTwK<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Memes War (@memes_war_mw) March 27, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n While Rizvi\u2019s cameo was a memorable moment, the real heroes for CSK were openers Rachin Ravindra <\/strong>(46 off 20)\u00a0and Ruturaj Gaikwad <\/strong>(46 off 36) who provided a solid foundation with their respective knocks.
