Sameer Rizvi is a young Indian cricketer who gained attention as a powerful right-handed middle-order batter. He was notably compared to former Indian star Suresh Raina early in his career due to his aggressive batting style. Rizvi first came into the spotlight during the 2024 Indian Premier League auction, where he was signed by the Chennai Super Kings for a significant sum.

During his stint with CSK, Rizvi had limited opportunities to bat. Verified statistics show he scored 51 runs across the matches he played for the franchise. For the 2026 IPL season, Rizvi was acquired by the Delhi Capitals. The team management has indicated they see potential in him as a finisher in the middle and lower order.

His role with Delhi Capitals is still developing, as he aims to secure a more permanent spot in the playing XI and fulfill the finisher's role he has been assigned. Cricket analysts note that his power-hitting ability makes him a player to watch in the tournament's closing stages.
