Sameer Rizvi hit a rollicking 51-ball 90 to lead Delhi Capitals to a comprehensive six-wicket win over Mumbai Indians in Match 8 of Indian Premier League 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday (April 4).
Chasing 163, Delhi lost early wickets, including KL Rahul, and found themselves under pressure at 52/2 after eight overs. But Rizvi’s explosive innings anchored the chase, keeping the Capitals ahead of the required run rate and eventually steering them home with authority.
Rizvi was well-supported by the middle order, with crucial cameos ensuring Delhi never lost the grip on the game. Mumbai Indians had been propelled by a strong 51 from Suryakumar Yadav and a 35 from Rohit Sharma, but their efforts weren’t enough to match Delhi’s measured yet aggressive chase.
Among the highlights was Jasprit Bumrah’s direct hit, which sparked early momentum for MI, but it was Rizvi’s strokeplay that dominated the afternoon.
The win marked Delhi Capitals’ second victory of IPL 2026. Here's a look at Rizvi’s records from the innings
