IPL 2026: Slow Pitch, Fast Hands Sameer Rizvi Makes A Tricky Chase Look Easy Once Again
Indian Premier League: Sameer Rizvi took ten deliveries to score his first boundary on Saturday, as Delhi Capitals made a pursuit of 163 against Mumbai Indians. By the time he was done, impact player Rizvi had made the result look inevitable in DCs favour for the second straight time in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. In front of a near-packed house at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi, Rizvi struck a swashbuckling 90 off 51 balls to power DC to a six-wicket victory over MI with 11 balls to spare. He reached his fifty in just 31 balls and hit seven sixes and as many boundaries on a pitch that had frustrated the game's biggest names in the afternoon and evening. In practice, hes always very positive. So, in the beginning, he would struggle a little bit. He used to say that if he got going early, he could play a long innings, and hes doing exactly that. Its great for the team and helps us win matches. Once he settles in, he doesnt hold back. He plays with positive intent, and were really happy to see that mindset. From the time he joined the camp, you could see his hunger to score runs and the mindset to do that, irrespective of what happened around him, and he is now doing that, said Delhi Capitals pacer Mukesh Kumar in the post-match press conference. The match had set itself up for a tantalising finish. At the ten-over mark, DC stood at 73/3 - the precise score MI had reached at the same stage of their innings. The similarities were hard to ignore - two early wickets had fallen in each chase. A fifty partnership for the third wicket and a set opener departing in the tenth over in each innings. The game appeared finely balanced, but then Rizvi faced Corbin Bosch in the 11th over. He had been watchful to that point, strokeplay subdued, strike rate hovering below 100 as his more senior partner Pathum Nissanka did the early running. When Nissanka fell to Mitchell Santner, the game's pivot fell on young Rizvis shoulders, and he seized it with both hands. A wide delivery was dispatched over mid-off for four. The next ball, having committed to a pull shot before recognising it was not on, Rizvi adjusted in a flash and ramped it past the wicketkeeper to the third-man boundary. Then came two blows that broke Mumbai's back: a slashing six over deep point, another over long-on, as 20 runs came from the over. The target, from that moment, became a mere formality. The statistics from Rizvi's innings illuminate both the innings and the surface on which they were played. Against pacers, he made 63 runs off 33 balls at a strike rate of 190.9. Against spinners, 27 runs off 18 deliveries at a strike rate of 150. Seventy of his 90 runs came via boundaries. His seven sixes were three more than Mumbai's entire batting lineup managed across their innings on the same strip. He preferred the off side for his scoring - 52 runs there at a strike rate of 200 while 32 runs came through leg-side and the remaining six runs came downtown. If the ramp against Bosch left DC fans jaw-dropped, then his back-to-back sixes off Mayank Markande were a sight for sore eyes. The first maximum was pure hand speed; the second one was textbook style - quick feet, clean swing, the ball clearing long-on without drama. If Rizvi hadnt holed out to long-off for 90, he would have been the third Impact Player in IPL history to score a century. While DC basked in the joy of victory at home, it was a chastening evening for MI from the batting order to the bowling unit. Rizvi sports the number seven jersey for DC, a number synonymous with MS Dhoni, and MI pacer Deepak Chahar couldnt ignore it. I think he has the potential because when CSK bought him first in the auction, they bought him for 8 crores. So obviously, the potential was always there. Now, with the experience, he has become better. What I have seen in IPL is that confidence is the key to success because everybody who is selected in the IPL has the skill, right? So now, I think he has become confident. You can see, back-to-back, he scored runs. He's got better and better. So it's learning for everybody that skill doesn't matter. Confidence matters, and so whoever gets a chance, like a lot of youngsters, are playing this tournament. I think they should learn from him to get confident and keep winning matches, he said. I think he has the potential because when CSK bought him first in the auction, they bought him for 8 crores. So obviously, the potential was always there. Now, with the experience, he has become better. What I have seen in IPL is that confidence is the key to success because everybody who is selected in the IPL has the skill, right? Also Read: Live Cricket Score But now his last three innings read as: 58 not out, 70 not out, and 90. All unbeaten except the last, each bigger than the one before. He had announced himself to the IPL two seasons ago with a six off his first ball against Rashid Khan. But Saturday's innings against MI suggested the proper introduction of Rizvis high-quality batting skills is only now being made, and the long-term picture looks promising for both him and DC.

IPL 2026: Toss Was Crucial, MI Were 10-15 Runs Short With The Bat, Says Deepak Chahar
Indian Premier League: Mumbai Indians (MI) pacer Deepak Chahar admitted the toss played a decisive role after suffering a six-wicket loss to Delhi Capitals (DC) in IPL 2026, saying the side ended up 10-15 runs short with the bat on a slow black soil pitch which later became better to bat under lights at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. Suryakumar Yadav captained MI in place of an unwell Hardik Pandya and top-scored with 51 off 36 balls. But barring him, most of the other MI struggled to play their shots as they posted 162/6. Chahar himself found help from the pitch in power-play and even took out KL Rahul, but Sameer Rizvis 90 took DC over the line with 11 balls to spare. I think the pitch was really slow and the toss was crucial. I think there was a bit of moisture there. They were slow to start, and you could feel the moisture. The toss was very crucial at that time, and thats why we were 10-15 runs short, Chahar said in the post-match press conference. He explained how conditions improved for batting in the second innings. The pitch got a bit better. When the pitch is dry, it's more difficult to bat in the second innings. When the pitch has moisture, it becomes better to bat in the second innings I think it had a bit of moisture, and when it was sunny, and there was a bit of rolling at innings break, it got better to bat on. On skipper Hardik Pandyas absence, Chahar said: I think he (Hardik Pandya) was sick. That's why he couldn't play. Probably and hopefully, he'll play in the next game (against Rajasthan Royals in Guwahati on Tuesday). Chahar credited Sameer Rizvis knock for tilting the contest. Yes, we gave it a good shot because defending 160 in an afternoon game is really difficult. Rizvi played really well. If we had got him out early around the ten-over phase, the match would have been very interesting. He elaborated on the challenge of defending a modest total. In T20, the wicket-taking deliveries in any format are risk-taking deliveries But when you're defending 160, you can't bowl such a wicket-taking ball. Chahar credited Sameer Rizvis knock for tilting the contest. Yes, we gave it a good shot because defending 160 in an afternoon game is really difficult. Rizvi played really well. If we had got him out early around the ten-over phase, the match would have been very interesting. Also Read: Live Cricket Score Chahar maintained MI executed their strategies, but were undone by a few overs, where they conceded big runs. So we executed most of the plans.

Hard Work Paying Off: Sameer Rizvi After Another Match-Winning Knock For Delhi Capitals In IPL 2026
Delhi Capitals batter Sameer Rizvi, named Player of the Match for his swashbuckling 90 that took the side to a six-wicket win over Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026.
IPL 2026: The Hard Work Is Paying Off Now, I Am Batting Well, Says Rizvi After DCs Win
Indian Premier League: Delhi Capitals batter Sameer Rizvi, named Player of the Match for his swashbuckling 90, taking the side to a six-wicket win over Mumbai Indians in the indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, said his consistent effort to overcome weaknesses had begun to show results, adding that all of his hard work has started to pay off now. In the chase of 163, DC were at 73/3 at the halfway mark, before Rizvi got the game in his teams favour by hitting seven fours and as many sixes in his 51-ball 90 at a strike-rate of 176.47. He stitched stands of 66 and 78 with Pathum Nissanka (44) and David Miller (21 not out) as DC completed the chase with 11 balls to spare. Yes, I have worked very hard on myself because, since last year, there have been many changes. I worked on all my weaknesses, and I used to have some problems against fast bowlers, so I worked a lot on that throughout the year. The hard work is paying off now, I am batting well, Rizvi said at the conclusion of the game. Rizvis seven sixes are the joint-most hit by a DC batter against MI in IPL history, and the third-highest score by a batter from his side against the five-time champions. As an Impact Player, only Jos Buttler and Sai Sudharsan have ever scored more in a single IPL innings than Rizvi. I always try to play according to the situation. If the situation is changing, then I play accordingly in both innings. At the start, our situation required some time, so I took my time. Then, according to the situation, once I got settled at the wicket, I played my shots and tried to watch the ball till the very end, he added. Rizvi added that performing in the IPL boosts confidence and opens doors to bigger opportunities. Yes, this is a very important time for any player because if you score runs and bat well here, you gain confidence. You also get opportunities to move ahead, to play more, and to get chances on bigger platforms. So, it is a very good thing. Axar Patel, meanwhile, lauded Rizvi for getting the game yet again in DCs favour. Obviously, when planning happens - when you practice together and play cricket together - Ashu (Ashutosh Sharma) is also batting really well. But its about which player you need on a particular day. If that player delivers for you at that time, then its great. For me, its actually a good problem to have, that I have to choose. I think it shows how strong our bench strength is.

When youre winning continuously, maintaining that momentum is crucial.

So you focus on one game, do well, and then move on without thinking too much about the past. Article Source: IANS

IPL 2026: MI Were 15-20 Runs Short From A Batting Point Of View, Admits Suryakumar Yadav
Indian Premier League: Mumbai Indians (MI) stand-in skipper Suryakumar Yadav conceded his side were 15-20 runs short with the bat, which led to them losing to Delhi Capitals (DC) by six wickets at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday. On a slow pitch where shot-making was tough, Suryakumar top-scored with 51 as MI made 162/6. But DC chased down the target as the pitch got better to bat under lights, with Sameer Rizvi making a swashbuckling 90. I think it was a decent wicket. We expected it to be a little on the slower side, but still, from a batting point of view, we were a little short, 15-20 runs, but I don't want to take any credit away from their bowlers, and also they batted really well in the second innings, Suryakumar said after the game ended. On Rizvis second consecutive fifty of the competition, Suryakumar said, Absolutely, I mean, at 7 for 2, someone coming in like that and batting the way he batted, I think a lot of credit goes to him. He never let us come into the game. Suryakumar felt the pitch remained largely the same across both innings but credited the opposition for reading the conditions better. I think it was quite similar. It didn't change too much, but the way they batted, I think they batted very beautifully. They understood the conditions really well in the second innings and batted beautifully, he said.

IPL 2026: Sameer Rizvi's Swashbuckling 90 Seals DCs Clinical Six-wicket Win Over MI (ld)
Indian Premier League: For the second game running, Sameer Rizvi walked in and changed the complexion of a chase - this time by smashing a swashbuckling 90 off 51 balls to guide Delhi Capitals to a comfortable six-wicket win over Mumbai Indians and record their second straight win of IPL 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday. On a black soil pitch which was slow and got better to bat on, stand-in captain Suryakumar Yadav top-scored with 51 as MI posted a competitive 162/2. It was the kind of innings where MI never quite found its stride - initially, Suryakumar and Rohit Sharma steadied proceedings with a 53-run stand. But just as the partnership threatened to build into something decisive, DC stopped them and picked wickets at regular intervals, as MI made only 38 runs in the last four overs. Mukesh Kumar was the standout bowler with 2-26. In the chase of 163, DC were at 73/3, before Rizvi got the game in his teams favour by hitting seven fours and as many sixes at a strike-rate of 176.47. He stitched stands of 66 and 78 with Pathum Nissanka (44) and David Miller (21 not out) as DC completed the chase with 11 balls to spare. Rizvis seven sixes are the joint-most hit by a DC batter against MI in IPL history, and the third-highest score by a batter from his side against the five-time champions. As an Impact Player, only Jos Buttler and Sai Sudharsan have ever scored more in a single IPL innings than Rizvi. MI will look back at their spin bowling with some concern - it was there that DC found their opening, and Rizvi fully cashed on it to give the side just their second win in their last seven games against the five-time champions. DCs pursuit began on a false note - Deepak Chahar's inswinger found the inside edge on KL Rahul's flick and was caught by Ryan Rickelton. Nitish Rana pushed Jasprit Bumrah to the leg side, but the hesitation and then committing to the single was a fatal indecision as he was run out by the pacer. Nissanka refused to let early tension get to him. He pulled Chahar to the fine-leg fence, flicking and reverse sweeping Mitchell Santner, before pulling, lofting, and bludgeoning Shardul Thakur for two fours and a six. Nissanka eventually top-edged a Santner delivery to short fine leg, which meant that Naman Dhir previously dropping his catch costed only three runs. Rizvi was slow to begin with, before lofting and cutting Santner for boundaries. He opened up in imperious fashion in the 11th over - slashing, ramping, cutting and lofting Corbin Bosch for 20 runs. The crowd were on its feet when Rizvi brought up his fifty off 31 balls with back-to-back sixes against impact player Mayank Markande. The assault from Rizvi meant MI were forced to bring back Bumrah for a breakthrough, which didnt yield the desired result. Chahar returned to stem the run-flow, but Rizvi whipped him over deep backward square leg for six, after cutting him for four. Thakur came under severe attack from Rizvi - a four flayed past backward point was followed by one drilled through mid-off. The highlight, though, was a muscular six over deep extra cover against the off-cutter. David Miller joined the boundary-hitting part by driving and flicking Bumrah for boundaries. Though Rizvi missed his century by just 10 runs after holing out to long-off against Bosch, the result was a foregone conclusion by then a win for DC to begin their home run on a high. Previously, Rickelton began by flicking Mukesh through midwicket and fine leg for fours, while fan favourite Rohit Sharma picked two boundaries off Lungi Ngidi. Mukesh corrected his opening-over mistakes by resorting to a tighter line and good length in his second. The reward was immediate - Rickelton chipped to mid-off, while Tilak Varma was undone by a cleverly disguised knuckle ball that looped back to the bowler for a simple caught-and-bowled dismissal. At 31/2, Suryakumar began by clipping Mukesh for four, before Rohit danced down the pitch to smash an authoritative cover drive off Ngidi. Post powerplay, the sixes arrived with conviction - Rohit launched Vipraj Nigam over long-on, while Suryakumar cleared backward square leg off Axar. But Rohit's vigil ended with him chipping a slower ball to cover off Axar, while Sherfane Rutherford holed out to deep midwicket off Nigam. But Suryakumar pressed on paddling, sweeping and lofting with immaculate ease to bring up a measured fifty off 35 balls. He found able company in Dhir, with them plundering 17 runs off Kuldeep Yadav in the 15th over being a particular highlight. Ngidi's skiddy pace-off delivery eventually trapped Suryakumar lbw, while Dhir pulled straight to deep midwicket off Natarajan. Two boundaries each from Santner and Bosch took MI past 160, but it was insufficient to deny DC another win thanks to another stunning show from Rizvi.

IPL 2026: Sameer Rizvis Unbeaten 90 Helps DC Register A Six-wicket Win Over MI
Indian Premier League: For the second game running, Sameer Rizvi walked in and changed the complexion of a chase - this time by smashing an unbeaten 90 off 51 balls to guide Delhi Capitals to a comfortable six-wicket win over Mumbai Indians and record their second straight win of IPL 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday. In the chase of 163, DC were struggling at 73/3, before Rizvi turned the game in his teams favour by hitting seven fours and as many sixes at a strike-rate of 176.47. He stitched stands of 66 and 78 with Pathum Nissanka (44) and David Miller (21 not out) as DC completed the chase with 11 balls to spare. Rizvis seven sixes are the most hit by a DC batter against MI in IPL history, and as an Impact Player, only Jos Buttler has ever scored more in a single IPL innings. Mumbai, who had posted 162/6 on a two-paced surface, will look back at their spin bowling with some concern - it was there that Delhi found their opening, and Rizvi fully cashed on it. DCs pursuit of 163 began on a false note - Deepak Chahar's inswinger found the inside edge on KL Rahul's flick and was caught by Ryan Rickelton. Nitish Rana pushed Jasprit Bumrah to the leg side, but the hesitation and then committing to the single was a fatal indecision as he was run out by the pacer. Pathum Nissanka refused to let early tension get to him. He pulled Chahar to the fine-leg fence, flicking and reverse sweeping Mitchell Santner, before pulling, lofting, and bludgeoning Shardul Thakur for two fours and a six. Nissanka eventually top-edged a Santner delivery to short fine leg, which meant that Naman Dhir's previously dropped catch cost only three runs. Rizvi, DCs impact player, was slow to begin with, before lofting and cutting Santner for boundaries. He opened up in imperious fashion in the 11th over - slashing, ramping, cutting and lofting Corbin Bosch for 20 runs. The crowd were on its feet when Rizvi brought up his fifty off 31 balls with back-to-back sixes against impact player Mayank Markande. The assault from Rizvi meant MI were forced to bring back Bumrah for a breakthrough, which didnt yield the desired result. Chahar returned to stem the run-flow, but Rizvi whipped him over deep backward square leg for six, after cutting him for four. Thakur came under attack from Rizvi - a four flayed past backward point was followed by one drilled through mid-off. The highlight, though, was a muscular six over deep extra cover against the off-cutter. David Miller joined the boundary-hitting part by driving and flicking Bumrah for boundaries. Though Rizvi missed his century by just 10 runs after holing out to long-off against Bosch, the result was a foregone conclusion by then a win for DC to begin their home run on a high.

IPL 2026: Thought We Managed To Get A Decent Score On The Board On A Slow Wicket, Says Rohit Sharma
Indian Premier League: Mumbai Indians (MI) veteran opener Rohit Sharma felt his side putting up 162/6 against Delhi Capitals in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 clash at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi was a decent score despite the sluggish nature of the surface. On a two-paced pitch, MI managed to get past the 160-run mark, with Rohit making 35 after skipper Suryakumar Yadav made 51. Looks like a pretty slow wicket. You just have to get in and bide your time and then try and play some shots because it's not easy, but I thought we managed to get a decent score on the board. Hopefully, we can try and squeeze them in the first six, try and get some wickets up front, and then see where the game goes. Looks like that at the moment. As you saw in the first innings, shot-making wasn't that easy. We've got bowlers who can exploit that and try and, as I said, try and squeeze them in the first six. If you can manage to do that in the first six, then we are pretty much in control of the game, and then, our spinners, the seamers, can come into the picture, said Rohit in a mid-innings chat with the broadcasters. He also felt that hitting through the line shots wont work on the sluggish pitch. It was two-paced, even with the new ball; there was something in it. Like I said, it was not easy to keep hitting through the line. You've got to understand where you want to hit the ball. Like I said, also, we've got the bowlers who are pretty smart to exploit those conditions, and I hope they can do that. Looks like that at the moment. As you saw in the first innings, shot-making wasn't that easy. We've got bowlers who can exploit that and try and, as I said, try and squeeze them in the first six.

IPL 2026: Suryakumar Yadav Hits 51 As MI Post 162/6 Against DC On A Slow Pitch
Indian Premier League: Stand-in captain Suryakumar Yadav top-scored with 51 as the Mumbai Indians posted a competitive 162/6 in 20 overs on a slow black-soil pitch against the Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Saturday. It was the kind of innings for MI that never quite found its stride Suryakumar and Rohit Sharma steadied proceedings with a 53-run stand. But just as it threatened to build into something decisive, DC intervened to pick wickets at regular intervals, with Mukesh Kumar being the standout bowler with 2-26. Suryakumar's measured 51 off 36 balls, laced with three fours and two sixes, was the spine of MIs innings and took them past the 160-mark, despite 38 runs coming from the final four overs. The crowd found its voice early on when Ryan Rickelton flicked Mukesh Kumar through midwicket and fine leg for fours, while fan favourite Rohit Sharma picked two boundaries off Lungi Ngidi through point and fine leg regions. Mukesh corrected mistakes made in the opening over by resorting to a tighter line and good length in his second over. The reward was immediate Rickelton chipped to mid-off, while Tilak Varma was undone by a cleverly disguised knuckle ball that looped back to the bowler for a simple caught-and-bowled dismissal. At 31/2, Suryakumar arrived in the middle and began by clipping Mukesh for four, before sweeping Vipraj Nigam for another boundary. Rohit, while trying to keep Ngidis slower boundaries at bay, was lucky to get inside edge running for four, before dancing down the pitch next ball to smash an authoritative cover drive. Post power play, the sixes arrived with great conviction - Rohit launched Nigam back over long-on, while Suryakumar cleared backward square leg off Axar. After Rohit survived an lbw appeal off Kuldeep Yadav, his vigil was brought to an end by Axar, as he chipped a slower ball to cover. Sherfane Rutherford fell cheaply - holing out to deep midwicket off Nigam. But Suryakumar pressed on paddling and lofting with immaculate ease to bring up a measured fifty in 35 balls with Naman Dhir providing able company. Together, they plundered 17 runs from Kuldeep in the 15th over, with Dhir's inside-out loft over extra cover a standout shot. DC, though, bounced back as Ngidi's skiddy pace-off delivery trapped Suryakumar lbw, while Dhir pulled straight to deep mid-wicket off T Natarajan. A brace of boundaries, each from Mitchell Santner and Corbin Bosch, took MI past the 160-run mark and set the stage for a fascinating second half.

Arun Jaitley Stadium: Mumbai Indians wicketkeeper-batter Ryan Rickelton said his focus at the top of the order is on managing threats and making the most of the powerplay in afternoon games. MI, the five-time champions, are taking on Delhi Capitals in their first afternoon game of IPL 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday. I think sometimes that's the nice part about batting second is that the game kind of dictates it for you. India is always a different challenge, especially at night, the ball swings quite a lot, so you know those first 2-3 overs, you can get knocked over quite quickly if you don't have your wits about you. So it's trying to just manage the prime threats as an individual. Then when the time comes to transfer the pressure or you get a second sniff, you really just make sure that you drive that home. So today will be a different experience. Day game, expecting maybe a little bit less swing, maybe a little bit more turn. So it's just about trying to manage the conditions and maximize the powerplay to its best. Sometimes it's a bit easier to bat in the powerplay, sometimes a lot easier to bat outside of the powerplay. So just trying to manage both, said Rickelton in a pre-game chat with the broadcasters. On the fine line between intent and recklessness on batting in power-play, the left-handed batter, who hit 83 in the opening game against Kolkata Knight Riders, explained, I shouldn't be allowed to answer this. I'm a South African, so it's all recklessness, in all honesty. Not giving yourself a chance and being reckless in terms of just going out for a hoick within your first couple of balls. I would define it as a bit reckless. The conditions always dictate the way you should play. The game situation also guides you in how you should play. If you're going away from what those things are telling you, then maybe I think it's a bit reckless. Asked on how it has been to bat alongside Rohit Sharma, Rickelton said, The beauty of this side is that we have so many unbelievable batters, foreign and local batters, lined up behind us. So if Ro and I manage to win the powerplay, it's almost like a bit of a free hit. But it is almost ... we face some balls, we get the pace of the wicket, the gist of it, and you can try and maximize within the middle phase, especially when your matchups come on. You can do that without the fear of getting out. If you obviously can put some pressure on the bowlers and get away, that really takes the team to a great position.

Arun Jaitley Stadium: Delhi Capitals (DC) experienced left-handed batter David Miller believes though batting intensity in the IPL must be dictated by conditions, his side are well-equipped to raise the tempo when the surface and scoreboard allow. DC will begin their home leg against five-time winners Mumbai Indians at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday afternoon. I'm a little bit old school, but I definitely think that adapting to the game and looking to take the bowlers down early is what the guys are doing nowadays. I still think that if it's a good wicket and we're scoring at a great rate, then we will match the intensity. On the other hand, if the team is in trouble, like the other night, we saw Sameer (Rizvi) and Stubbs do a phenomenal job there. It took the pressure off the team and took the chase deep, so I think it really depends on the situation, said Miller in a pre-game chat with the broadcasters. He also emphasised on the need for players to understand their own strengths and stick to them amid the ultra-attacking nature of batting in T20 cricket. Each person has their strengths, and personally I know my areas of strength and weakness. It's about ensuring my position of strength and playing from there. I still think that if it's a good wicket and we're scoring at a great rate, then we will match the intensity. On the other hand, if the team is in trouble, like the other night, we saw Sameer (Rizvi) and Stubbs do a phenomenal job there.
