Sameer Rizvi has become the first player to score the fastest double century in domestic cricket.
21-year-old Sameer Rizvi, who plays for Delhi Capitals in IPL 2025, has created a sensation by scoring a double century in domestic cricket. Let us tell you that while playing for UP, the young player has created history by scoring a double century against Tripura in the Under-23 State Trophy match.
Sameer batted explosively against Tripura and created history by scoring a double century in just 97 balls. During his brilliant innings, Sameer hit 13 fours and 20 skyscraper sixes.
With this, he has now become the first player to score the fastest double century in domestic cricket. Sameer came to bat in the 23rd over of the match. After this, Sameer batted brilliantly and scored a double century and helped the team score 405.
However, even after scoring this double century, he has not been able to reach the first position in terms of scoring the fastest double century in List A cricket. The record for scoring the fastest double century in List A cricket is in the name of New Zealand’s Chad Bowes, who some time ago broke the record of double century scored by Travis Head and Narayan Jagadeesan in 114 balls.
Sameer is performing brilliantly in domestic cricket
It is noteworthy that Sameer Rizvi, who plays cricket for UP, has been performing brilliantly in domestic cricket for some time. Before scoring a double century, Sameer had batted brilliantly in this tournament and played innings of 153* and 137 runs.
So the young player was bought by Delhi Capitals for Rs 95 lakh in the IPL 2025 mega auction held last month. But in the IPL 2024 auction, Sameer was included in the team by Chennai Super Kings by paying Rs 8.4 crore. However, he could score only 51 runs in the five matches played for the team, due to which CSK released him from the team.
