Sameer Rizvi Net Worth and IPL Salary in 2026

As of 14 October 2026, no credible public source verifies Sameer Rizvi’s net worth. The latest publicly checkable IPL contract figure is his ₹95 lakh Delhi Capitals deal for IPL 2026. His public IPL price history runs from ₹8.4 crore with Chennai Super Kings in 2024, down to ₹95 lakh with DC in 2025, and then the same ₹95 lakh retained amount in 2026. These are franchise-listed contract values, not proof of assets, take-home pay or total wealth. [1] [6] [7]

Rizvi was born on 6 December 2003 in Meerut. On this article’s as-of date, he is 22 years old. Delhi Capitals’ official profile lists him as a right-handed batter, records his IPL debut in 2024, and lists 252 runs in 11 IPL matches in 2026. [4]

The verified Sameer Rizvi salary record

The clean way to read Rizvi’s earnings story is to separate three figures that are often mixed together: an auction base price, the winning bid, and a later retained salary. A base price is the starting amount at which a player enters bidding. It is not the salary paid when the auction closes. A winning bid is the franchise’s listed price for that season. A retention amount is the salary carried into a later season under the league’s retention rules.

2024: CSK paid ₹8.4 crore after a ₹20 lakh base price

At the IPL 2024 auction, Rizvi entered with a ₹20 lakh base price. The bidding went much higher. ESPNcricinfo’s sold-player list records him as sold to CSK for ₹8.4 crore, while the official IPL auction page lists the same ₹8.40 crore price paid. [1] [2]

That was a jump of 42 times from the base price. It should not be described as a ₹20 lakh contract. The ₹20 lakh figure only describes where the bidding began; the ₹8.4 crore figure is the public winning price. Sportstar reported that CSK, Gujarat Titans and Delhi Capitals were involved in the bidding sequence before CSK completed the purchase. [3]

The amount reflected a high-upside bet on a young uncapped batter. India Today’s auction report said Rizvi had scored the fastest century in the first UP T20 League and had built a reputation as a powerful player against spin. Former players and an IPL scout compared his style with Suresh Raina, which helped explain the attention around him, but a comparison was scouting context, not a guarantee of future income. [5]

His first IPL season was quieter than the auction: ESPNcricinfo records 51 runs in eight innings in 2024, and the official DC profile records the same total. [4] [6] That result matters because an auction price is not a permanent valuation of a player’s career; it reflects one franchise’s view of potential at one auction.

2025: DC paid ₹95 lakh, not the ₹30 lakh base price

CSK did not retain Rizvi for the next cycle. At the IPL 2025 mega auction, Delhi Capitals bought him for ₹95 lakh. The official IPL auction record shows both relevant numbers: ₹30 lakh base price and ₹95 lakh winning bid. [7]

This was a sharp reduction from ₹8.4 crore. It was still more than three times the new base price, so “DC got him at base price” would also be wrong. The precise description is that DC bought him for ₹95 lakh after he entered at ₹30 lakh.

Rizvi’s 2025 season provided some recovery without erasing the price reset. ESPNcricinfo records 121 runs in four innings and an unbeaten 58 from 25 balls at the end of DC’s campaign. [6] Delhi’s official player page lists five matches and 121 runs. [4]

2026: DC retained him at the existing ₹95 lakh deal

ESPNcricinfo’s player profile says Rizvi was retained by DC for IPL 2026 at his existing price of ₹95 lakh. [6] The Olympics’ retention report and an Indian Express report on the 2026 DC squad also list him among the players retained by the franchise. [8] [9]

That makes ₹95 lakh the latest verified IPL salary figure as of 14 October 2026. It does not establish a 2027 amount. Readers can follow future updates through CricWin24’s IPL league coverage, DC retained, released and trade updates, and cricket news.

Rizvi’s 2026 performance helps explain why the retained place remained meaningful. Delhi Capitals’ official profile lists 252 runs, two fifties, a highest score of 90 and a 147.37 strike rate in 11 matches. [4] Firstpost described his early-season match-winning innings and noted that DC’s ₹95 lakh investment was far below CSK’s earlier price. [10] The performance provides context for the retention, but it does not change the recorded contract.

Why the CSK-to-DC salary fall needs context

A drop from ₹8.4 crore to ₹95 lakh looks dramatic because it compares two different auction settings. CSK bought Rizvi before he had played an IPL match. The bid priced in expected upside after his domestic performances. DC bought him after a small first IPL sample that had not met the original expectations.

That does not prove CSK’s decision was irrational or that DC’s price was a final judgment on Rizvi. It shows how quickly an auction market can reprice an uncapped player when new evidence arrives. His U23 and domestic record still gave DC a reason to invest, while his first IPL season gave the franchise a reason not to approach the 2024 number.

The domestic record was not invented by the IPL auction. Sportstar’s 2023 profile reported 455 runs in nine innings in the UP T20 League, including two hundreds. [3] In December 2024, Sportstar reported that Rizvi made 201 from 97 balls against Tripura in the Men’s U23 State A Trophy, hitting 13 fours and 20 sixes. [11] India Today also recorded the innings and made an important distinction: it was a remarkable U23 performance, but it was not a List A record. [12]

A domestic milestone can strengthen a scouting case, but it does not create a separate public salary line. The only reliable salary figures in this profile come from auction and retention records.

The IPL match fee is separate from the contract

The IPL Governing Council’s official player-regulations announcement for the 2025–27 cycle introduced a match fee for the first time in IPL history. It says: “Each Playing member (Including the Impact Player) will get a match fee of INR 7.5 Lakhs per match. This will be in addition to his contracted amount.” [13]

That rule is relevant because the official DC profile records Rizvi’s 2025 and 2026 IPL appearances. It is not a receipt statement, so this article does not multiply a guessed appearance count by ₹7.5 lakh. Contract payment schedules, qualifying status, availability, deductions and tax details are not published in the sources used here.

Because the rule says the fee is in addition to the contracted amount, it remains separate from the ₹95 lakh retained salary. The amount Rizvi actually received is unknown.

Career earning context, without calling it net worth

Using only the three public IPL contract figures, the nominal listed value across the 2024–26 seasons is:

• 2024 CSK: ₹8.40 crore
• 2025 DC: ₹0.95 crore
• 2026 DC retained amount: ₹0.95 crore
• Publicly listed IPL contract total: ₹10.30 crore

The ₹10.30 crore total is context, not a bank balance. It does not show when or whether each rupee was paid and excludes tax, agent or management fees, professional expenses, match fees, bonuses and other contractual terms. It says nothing about savings, property, investments or liabilities.

Most importantly, IPL contract value is not net worth. Net worth requires verified information about assets and debts. No credible, attributable source located for this profile verifies Rizvi’s total assets as of 14 October 2026. CricWin24 therefore does not publish a rupee estimate based on wealth websites or a simple addition of auction prices.

Sponsorships, cars, houses and monthly income

There is no credible public disclosure in the sources reviewed here that establishes Sameer Rizvi’s personal endorsement fees, monthly income, home ownership, cars or investments. Delhi Capitals’ website lists team sponsors, but a team sponsorship logo is not proof that Rizvi personally receives a fee from that brand.

The responsible answer is “not publicly disclosed.” A young player may have commercial opportunities after a strong season, but opportunity is not a signed endorsement contract. Social-media claims about lifestyle or property likewise need verifiable attribution before they belong in an earnings profile.

Readers tracking future developments can use the cricket insights section and the CSK retained, released and trade updates. Any 2027 figure should be added only after an official auction, retention or franchise source confirms it.
