20-year-old uncapped Indian cricketer Sameer Rizvi is living a dream.
After being picked up by the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) for a whopping ₹8.40 crore in the IPL 2024 Auction, he fell short of words to describe the feeling.
In an interview with India Today, he said, 'This is an unreal feeling for me. I cannot describe this in words, it is too difficult for me. I'm out of words at this moment, taking time to let it sink in. Looking forward to playing for CSK.'
Sameer triggered a bidding war between Gujarat Titans, Delhi Capitals and the Chennai Super Kings before 5-time champions CSK bought him.
Rizvi smashed the most sixes for Kanpur Superstars at the UP T20 League. He also made two blistering hundreds and finished with 455 runs in nine innings in the tournament.
