IPL 2026, Sameer Rizvi: Delhi Capitals' young batsman Sameer Rizvi made a explosive start in IPL 2026. He caught everyone's attention by scoring 160 runs in the first two matches. It seemed that he was going to be the backbone of Delhi's batting this season, but after that his bat has been largely silent. By the time he reached 9 innings, Sameer had scored only 252 runs. After the initial explosive form, now he is seen struggling a lot for runs.

Sameer Rizvi's biggest problem

Sameer Rizvi's biggest weakness this season has been the beginning of his innings. It has been seen in almost every match that he struggles to play carefully in the first 10 balls. Out of these 9 innings, he has lost his wicket 5 times within 10 balls. During this period, he has scored only 46 runs in 61 balls, in which his strike rate was only 75.40. Even against Kolkata Knight Riders, he scored only 3 runs in 7 balls.

In IPL 2026, Sameer Rizvi is also the batsman who scored runs with the lowest strike rate in the first 10 balls. His hesitation in the beginning is increasing the pressure for the team. But the interesting thing is that Sameer Rizvi becomes a completely different batsman after the 11th ball. After the 11th ball his strike rate reaches 187.27. That means, once he faces the initial overs and gets settled, he becomes a threat to the opposition bowlers. In such a situation, Rizvi needs to work on his technique and mindset in the initial overs, so that he can play to his full potential.

Double digit not touched 5 times out of 9

Sameer Rizvi has played 9 innings so far this season, out of which he has not even been able to touch double figures 5 times. But in the remaining 4 innings his scores were 70 runs not out, 90 runs, 41 runs and 40 runs not out. It is clear from these figures that Sameer Rizvi has the ability to play big innings, but he is under pressure at the beginning of the innings, of which other teams are taking full advantage.
