Sameer Rizvi’s world record
In the tournament, UP captain Sameer Rizvi played an unbeaten inning of 201 runs in just 97 balls, during which he hit 13 fours and 20 sixes. Sameer has now become the batsman to score the fastest double century in domestic cricket. Talking about List-A cricket, the record for scoring the fastest double century is currently in the name of New Zealand’s Chad Bowes, who completed his double century in 103 balls. The name of Australia’s Travis Head is also included among the batsmen who have scored the fastest double century in List-A cricket, who touched the figure of 200 runs in 114 balls.
Will create a stir for Delhi in IPL 2025
Sameer Rizvi was bought by Chennai Super Kings in the IPL 2024 auction for Rs 8.4 crore. But CSK had released him before the mega auction. This time in the mega auction, Delhi Capitals bought him for Rs 95 lakh. There has been a huge cut in his salary from the Indian Premier League. Rizvi is running in a very strong rhythm at the moment. In a recently played ODI match, he played a stormy inning of 153 runs. Apart from this, he returned unbeaten after scoring 137 runs in another match. If his form continues, he can prove to be a trump card for Delhi Capitals in IPL 2025.
