It's always remarkable when a young batter makes a big impact, but it's even more memorable when they start with a bang by hitting a first-ball six against a top-notch bowler. CSK's Sameer Rizvi did the same when he launched a massive six off Gujarat Titans' world-beater Rashid Khan.

Chennai Super Kings got off to a flying start thanks to a strong opening partnership between Rachin Ravindra and Ruturaj Gaikwad. As the innings progressed, the hosts maintained momentum with key contributions from Shivam Dube and Daryl Mitchell, who combined for a crucial 57-run partnership. However, the standout moment of the match came when Sameer Rizvi, facing his first ball in the IPL, smashed a six off Rashid Khan.

Despite Rashid dismissing Dube, the visitors seemed poised to keep CSK's total below 200. However, Sameer Rizvi's arrival in the 18th over changed the game's trajectory. On the third delivery of Rashid's over, Sameer unleashed a powerful slog-sweep, sending the ball sailing over deep backward square leg for a massive six. The CSK dugout, including former captain MS Dhoni, erupted in jubilation at Sameer's impressive IPL debut.

Twitter exploded with excitement over Rizvi's audacious stroke against Rashid, with users flocking to social media to express their delight.
