Sameer Rizvi played an iconic knock for Delhi Capitals under pressure, leading his team to the win. With the match being played at Ekana Cricket Stadium, Delhi Capitals decided to chase but quick wickets put them in trouble. Eventually, Rizvi played a 70-run knock to help DC win the game.
Sameer Rizvi has proven why the Impact Player rule in the IPL has been named the same. Lucknow Super Giants and Delhi Capitals went against each other to give fans yet another thriller of IPL 2026. And it was not a 200+ run game, it was a low total game which still turned out to be impressive.
Delhi Capitals were able to win the toss and they decided to bowl first. The bowlers were able to do a great job, as they bowled out LSG for just 141 runs. But when the chase started, all of the team's hopes seemed to have vanished from the very first ball. Shami started by dismissing KL Rahul for a duck, as Pathum Nissanka and Axar Patel were dismissed by Prince Yadav.
Amidst all this, Sameer Rizvi, who came in as an impact player, held his end well. He went on to score 70 runs off 47 balls in this epic chase, leading Delhi Capitals to the win. Tristan Stubbs held his end well, as he also went on to score 39 runs off 32 balls.
Let's see how Twitter has reacted to Sameer Rizvi’s impact.

Some fans are even giving the credit of this to DC Management. And it is true, because Rizvi was sent ahead of Abhishek Porel, Ashutosh Sharma, or even Karun Nair.

Sameer Rizvi was released by Chennai Super Kings and now he has started to do well. This even makes the CSK fans question why their team released him.
