Sameer Rizvi’s Beautiful Gesture For Virat Kohli Has Gone Viral
Even though Sameer Rizvi didn’t get to bat in the match as it ended before his turn, he gained valuable experience playing in the lucrative T20 league. His journey as a cricketer began yesterday when Ruturaj Gaikwad took charge as captain and guided CSK to a solid win over RCB.

Meanwhile, Indian batting maestro, Virat Kohli made his return to competitive cricket after a three-month hiatus following the birth of his second child with wife Anushka Sharma. However, his comeback wasn’t as successful as he failed to score any runs. Initially, Kohli didn’t get much opportunity to bat as his opening partner Faf du Plessis was dominating the opposition bowlers, particularly Deepak Chahar and Tushar Deshpande.
Virat Kohli struggled to make an impact in his return to competitive cricket, scoring only 21 runs off 20 balls. If he wants to secure his spot in the T20 World Cup squad, he needs to improve his performance. Despite his recent form, Kohli’s track record and past contributions give hope for a comeback.
