Gujarat Titans spinner Rashid Khan got the in-form Delhi Capitals batter Sameer Rizvi out for a golden duck of their IPL 2026 match at Arun Jaitley Stadium on April 8. DC needed to chase a giant goal of 210 runs after selecting to bowl first.
Delhi were in a very good position at 97/1 after 9 overs, but Rashid modified the sport with two quick wickets. First, he got Nitish Rana out on the second-last ball of the tenth over. Rana tried a giant shot but mistimed it, and Sai Sudharsan caught it at long-off.
On the very next ball, Rashid struck again and dismissed Rizvi. He bowled a tough googly that Rizvi couldn’t understand. The ball went between his bat and pad and hit the stumps, sending him back without scoring.

Sameer Rizvi made his IPL debut for Chennai Super Kings in 2024, where he faced Rashid Khan for the primary time. Despite the fact that it was his debut, Rizvi played with none fear against the experienced bowler.
He impressed everyone by hitting a six off the very first ball of his IPL profession, sweeping it over deep square leg. In the identical over, he smashed one other six over long-off.
