'Winning Game Makes You Feel Far Better Than Just Scoring A Hundred,' Says Pietersen On Rizvi's Knock
Lucknow Super Giants: Former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen has heaped praise on young batter Sameer Rizvi after his unbeaten 70 off 47 balls powered Delhi Capitals (DC) to a thumping six-wicket win against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in their opening match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 played at the Ekana Cricket Stadium on Wednesday.
Pietersen, who worked as a mentor with the DC last year, revealed that he watched Rizvi closely last season and was impressed with the skillset the Indian batter possesses. He urged DC's management to keep backing Rizvi, and he will pay back with match-winning knocks.
"He played the situation beautifully, and I'm not surprised. I spent a lot of time with Sameer last season, watched him closely. He scored a hundred in a warm-up game but, unfortunately, couldn't find a place in the first half of the tournament. However, when he got his opportunity later in the season, he showed what he was about, and everybody looked up and said, This kid is a proper player, and we probably need to invest in him for a period of time," Pietersen told Jio Hotstar.
