'Watching On TV To Sharing Dressing Room': CSK Youngster's Heartfelt Post For MS Dhoni

Young batter Sameer Rizvi is enjoying his time with the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in his debut season in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Rizvi, who grabbed the limelight after his heroics in the inaugural edition of the UPT20, was picked by CSK for a whopping Rs 8.4 crore at the IPL 2024 players auction last year. He gave a good account for himself in CSK's second game of the season against Gujarat Titans, hitting Rashid Khan for two sixes.

Taking to Instagram, Rizvi shared a heartfelt post for former CSK skipper MS Dhoni, who relinquished his captaincy on the eve of the IPL 2024 opener. Rizvi asserted that playing with Dhoni has been a dream come true for him.

"Soaking in all the widsom from the GOAT. From watching him conjure magic on the TV screen to sharing the dressing room with him, a dream come true indeed!," Rizvi captioned a couple of photos.

After the match against GT, Rizvi revealed the advice he received from the franchise's poster boy and legendary former skipper Dhoni.

Rizvi said that he was happy to be picked up by the Yellow franchise since it was his life-long dream to meet Dhoni.
