00:00 Uncapped batter Sameer Rizvi turned out to be one of the most expensive players in the
00:06 IPL 2024 auction on Tuesday, December 19.
00:10 Rizvi, a middle-order batter who plays for Uttar Pradesh, was bought for a massive Rs.
00:16 8.40 crore in Dubai.
00:18 Rizvi, known in domestic cricket for his aggressive batting, was picked up by the Chennai Super
00:23 Kings from a talent auction pool.
00:25 An elated Sameer said that there were no words to describe his feelings.
00:30 "This is an unreal feeling for me.
00:32 I cannot describe this in words.
00:34 It is too difficult for me.
00:35 I am out of words at this moment, taking time to let it sink in.
00:39 Looking forward to playing for CSK," Rizvi said.
00:42 CSK and Gujarat Titans were engaged in a bidding war before Delhi Capitals joined in.
00:47 GT pulled out a Rs. 7.6 crore when DC decided to mix things up.
00:52 But CSK had the last laugh.
00:54 Rizvi shot to limelight after the recent UP T20 league where he scored 455 runs in nine
01:00 innings including two 100s for the Kanpur Superstars.
01:04 The 20-year-old also offered a glimpse of his big hitting potential in the Syed Mushtaq
01:09 Ali Trophy earlier this season.
01:11 Rizvi smashed 18 sixes, hitting one of every 11 balls he faced.
01:15 Rizvi has played 11 T20 matches so far, scoring 295 runs at an impressive average of 49.16.
01:23 Sami Rizvi scored the fastest century in the inaugural edition of the UP T20 league.
01:27 The right-handed batter also turned in some solid performance in the men's under-23
01:32 state A tournament where he scored two 50s and two 100s, including a 50-ball 84 in the
01:37 final to help Uttar Pradesh win.
01:39 Rizvi also hit the most sixes, 37, in the tournament.
01:43 There were questions of whether the 20 crore mark could be breached today and Pat Cummins
01:48 and Michelle Stark both dashed past that.
01:51 Australian captain Cummins, who has had a golden year, capped it off by fetching a prize
01:55 of 20.50 crore with Sunrisers Hyderabad breaking the bank for the fast bowler.
02:00 His record, however, stood only for a few minutes as teammate and fellow Australian
02:04 pace stalwart Michelle Stark got snapped up for a stunning 24.75 crore by KKR for what
02:10 will be his first season in the IPL in eight years.
