“Bhaiya (Dhoni) told me to play how I generally play since it is all about the actual gameplay. He (Dhoni) said, ‘There is nothing different. Skills remain the same, and it’s all just about mindset. Never take any pressure or be nervous, and play as per the situation’,” he said in a video on IPLT20.com.
Rizvi fondly looked back at the time when CSK spent ₹8.4 crore to secure his services in the auction before this season held in Dubai in December. He mentioned that his biggest happiness upon this move was the fact that his dream to meet Dhoni would finally fructify.

“When I was picked up during the auction by CSK, my greatest happiness was my dream to meet Bhaiya (MS Dhoni) would be fulfilled. We also had net sessions together and got to learn a lot from him and the (support) staff. I intend to learn more and perform to the fullest.”
Rizvi will be hoping to get more batting time in the middle when CSK take on the Delhi Capitals (DC) at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Vizag, with the five-time IPL champions chasing their third win in a row this season.
