The Chennai-based franchise has always been known for uplifting young talent as the likes of Mukesh Chaudhary and batter Ruturaj Gaikwad have grown at the franchise by leaps and bounds in their time during the IPL.
"Everyone knows that CSK is a champion team and is among the teams that have won the most titles. I have heard a lot about the atmosphere in the team and now will get to live it and become a better player and human being," Rizvi said.
"I don't know what to do with this amount I will hand over all money to my parents they will decide what to do with this amount," the batter further added.
The Meerut-based batter wreaked havoc in the UPT20 league as he smashed 455 runs in 10 matches at an average of over 50 with the help of two hundreds and a fifty.
