Sameer Rizvi delivered a match-winning knock for the Delhi Capitals against the Lucknow Super Giants; however, his IPL 2026 campaign could have ended in a freak injury, as Rishabh Pant's throw at the wickets went on to hit him directly on the right foot.
IPL 2026 started with a new ray of hope for the two teams, Delhi Capitals and the Lucknow Super Giants, after they had missed out on an opportunity to qualify for the playoffs of the 2025 edition of the IPL.
This season is a massive opportunity for the LSG skipper, Rishabh Pant, who has faced a massive dip in his white-ball career. He has not been part of the Indian team in white-ball tournaments, and is also gearing up for a first breakthrough season with the Super Giants.
During the closing moments of the game, Sameer Rizvi missed a ball, and it went straight back to the wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant. Pant, who is also the opposition's skipper, was visibly frustrated with his team's performance.
Rishabh Pant threw the ball back towards the stumps; however, he missed his target, and instead it went on to hit the right foot of the cricketer, which was near the toe region. Rizvi immediately responded after the ball gave a nasty blow to his toes.
Rishabh Pant immediately headed back to Rizvi and asked him if he was alright, and checked on the batter. He was equally sorry for the incident and asked for forgiveness from the batter with a pleasing smile on his face.
Though it was not an intentional incident, Rizvi could have been ruled out for the rest of the season had it resulted in a major injury for the UP cricketer.

— Stubbsy (@spideypant_) April 2, 2026Sameer Rizvi and Tristan Stubbs' century partnership led way for Delhi Capitals' win
Sameer Rizvi and Tristan Stubbs were the real threats for the Rishabh Pant-led LSG side, which lost the game despite having made a promising start to their bowling innings with 4 early wickets within the powerplay.
However, Rizvi was brought in as the impact player, and the middle-order specialist played a special knock with the bat, contributing to a century partnership alongside the South African star, Tristan Stubbs.
Tristan Stubbs contributed significantly with 39 runs, while Rizvi scored a decent half-century with 70 unbeaten runs. They contributed significantly as they chased a small total of 142 runs and were part of a 119-run stand for the 5th wicket.
Will Sameer Rizvi be DC's constant choice as an Impact Player in IPL 2026?
The Delhi Capitals did not pick Sameer Rizvi as the ideal choice for the Impact player role. They instead had the likely options of Auqib Nabi, the Jammu & Kashmir cricketer whom they had bought for a whopping price but did not pick due to the likely team combination.
However, they also had Ashutosh Sharma as the probable impact sub, as the batter has been adding firepower to the Delhi Capitals' lower order since the last season. Abhishek Porel could have been another possible option.
Among all these cricketers, Sameer Rizvi would not be the most probable choice for the entire competition; however, after his brilliant innings in the last game, he would be very tough to ignore.
