Uncapped batsman from Uttar Pradesh, Sameer Rizvi, was on Tuesday recruited by Chennai Super Kings for as much as Rs 8.40 crore in the IPL auction 2024. Rizvi is known for his six hitting abilities on the domestic circuit. His performances in the UP T20 league and U-23 went a long way in getting him a coveted contract at CSK.

The IPL auction often rewards the uncapped Indian cricketers with life changing contracts and it was no different this time. Another hard hitting batter, Kumar Kushagra, went for big money as Delhi Capitals spent Rs 7.20 crore for the 20-year-old.
