Axar Patel hails Rizvi after a stunning match-winning performance against LSG.
Sameer Rizvi turned heads with a match-winning knock that helped Delhi Capitals shake off a rocky start against Lucknow Super Giants. Chasing a modest target of 142, DC faced an early collapse, losing both KL Rahul and captain Axar Patel for golden ducks, leaving fans biting their nails.
Despite the early jitters, Rizvi stepped up, displaying nerves of steel and a keen eye for boundaries. His innings not only anchored the chase but also showcased his hard work and dedication to the game, which Axar Patel was quick to commend post-match. With 17 balls to spare, DC secured a 6-wicket victory, marking a perfect start to their IPL 2026 campaign.
This win is a huge boost for the Capitals, who will be looking to build on this momentum in their upcoming fixtures. Can Rizvi continue this form and become a mainstay in the lineup?
