“Was no confidence …”: Delhi Capital Star Sameer Rizvi’s match -winning knock after the knock

Sameer Rizvi gave a breathtaking performance with the bat, in which Sarai Mansingh broke the Delhi Capital (DC) scoring an unbeaten 58 scoring 58 runs to guide the Delhi Capital (DC) for a six -wicket victory over Punjab Kings (PBK) in the 2025 league match at Stadium on Saturday. Chasing a difficult target of 207, DC looked under pressure, before Rizvi stepped in and replaced the game on her head, with a clean knock with a clean -closer hitting with a fearless knock. With his innings, three borders and four huge sixes, he received the ‘Player of the Match’ award and helped cross the Finnish line in 19.3 overs.

“It feels good to get the Potm,” Rizvi said after the match, as is quoted from Espncricinfo.

He said, “I have been working hard for 2-3 months about my game. Earlier I did not believe that I would do well, but it came after this innings.”

When Rizvi went out to bat, DC still needed more than 114 runs. He set his time before starting an attack on the Punjab bowlers.

“When I went in, we needed more than 120. I took 4-5 balls, knew that the wicket was good, and then played my shots,” he explained.

The victory, although not enough to take DC to the playoffs, was a strong finish for his campaign and a memorable for Rizvi, who declared himself as a promising young finisher.

Punjab Kings have already qualified for the playoffs, and are sitting second with seventeen points.

Rizvi, who came during the later stages of Chase, found a competent companion in Triston Stabs (18*), and both ensured that there was no hiccup, directed Delhi to win with three balls to win.
