Rishabh Pant was bought by LSG for Rs 27 crore at IPL 2025 mega auction last year. (Photo: IANS) Rishabh Pant created history last year when he became the most expensive player to be sold at the Indian Premier League (IPL) player auction. Pant became the most expensive player ever after he was sold for Rs 27 crore to Sanjiv Goenka's Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the IPL 2025 mega auction last year. Pant is now set to go under the hammer again next week in another league. Team India vice-captain in Tests, Pant will be part of the Delhi Premier League (DPL) season 2 player auctions which will take place on July 6 and 7 in New Delhi. The DPL men's auction will take place on Sunday while the women's auction will be held on Monday. Who are the marquee players in DPL 2025 player auction? Apart from Pant, the other marquee names are Ishant Sharma, and rising stars such as Priyansh Arya, Ayush Badoni, Harshit Rana, Digvesh Rathi, Himmat Singh, Suyash Sharma, Mayank Yadav, and Anuj Rawat. Speaking on return of the DPL, DDCA President Mr. Rohan Jaitley said, 'The Delhi Premier League is more than just a tournament — it is a celebration of the Capital's deep-rooted cricketing culture. The kind of talent we saw in Season 1 was truly promising, and with this expansion, we are giving even more players a stage to shine. Talents like Priyansh Arya, Digvesh Rathi, and more emerged through DPL and showcased their brilliance during IPL 2025, proving the league's value as a true breeding ground for future stars.' 'The auctions in July will set the tone for the season, and we are working to ensure the experience is seamless and impactful for franchises, players, and fans alike. We are committed to making Season 2 a landmark moment in the league's journey,' he added. DPL 2025 to feature two more teams The Delhi & District Cricket Association (DDCA) on Tuesday announced the addition of two new men's franchises to the Delhi Premier League (DPL), as the tournament gears up for its much-anticipated second season. The expansion increases the number of men's teams in the league from six to eight, marking another significant milestone in the league's rapid rise as a premier domestic T20 tournament. The Outer Delhi franchise was secured for Rs 10.6 crore by the highest bidder, a consortium led by Savita Paints Private Limited. The New Delhi franchise was acquired for Rs 9.2 crore by a consortium of Bheema Tolling and Traffic Solutions Private Limited and Crayon Advertising Limited. The two new teams will join the six existing franchises — Central Delhi Kings, East Delhi Riders, North Delhi Strikers, Purani Dilli 6, South Delhi Superstarz, and West Delhi Lions — for the 2025 edition of the tournament. 'With every new team we welcome, DPL evolves into a true city- wide cricketing platform and strengthens its promise of being Delhi's cricketing heartbeat. But what truly excites us is the growing footprint of the women's league. By expanding into every zone of the Capital, while keeping the women's competition front and centre, we're ensuring that the next generation of Delhi girls sees cricket as their game, played on equal terms and celebrated just as loudly,' DDCA Vice-President Shikha Kumar said. The season 2 of the DPL will once again be hosted at the iconic Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. Match dates and fixtures will be announced after completion of the player auctions.

Delhi Premier League 2025: Young Stars From Virat Kohli And Virender Sehwag Families Set To Shine In Expanded Tournament
In what promises to be a landmark moment for domestic cricket in India, the upcoming Delhi Premier League (DPL) 2025 auction is generating serious buzz — and not just for the usual reasons. This year, the limelight falls on two familiar surnames with fresh faces: Virat Kohli's 15-year-old nephew Aaryaveer Kohli and Virender Sehwag's sons Aryavir and Vedant Sehwag are officially part of the auction draft scheduled for July 5. Their inclusion adds an emotional and generational twist to the tournament, as cricketing legacies are being passed down from Indian icons to their next-gen prodigies. Fans are eagerly awaiting to see which teams these promising youngsters will represent and how they'll perform under pressure in one of Delhi's fastest-growing T20 leagues. Also Read: Jasprit Bumrah To Play IND vs ENG 2nd Test? Here's All You Need To Know In another big leap forward, DDCA (Delhi & District Cricket Association) has confirmed the addition of two new franchises – Outer Delhi and New Delhi – taking the total number of teams in DPL 2025 to eight. This expansion reflects the league's growing popularity and its role in scouting and nurturing local cricket talent. The DPL's official account announced the development via a tweet after a closed-door team auction held on June 28, welcoming the newcomers with the words: "Naya season, naye jazbaat… aur DPL mein do nayi teams ki shuruaat!" With teams now representing nearly all major zones of the capital – East, West, North, South, Central, and now Outer and New Delhi – the tournament has taken a significant step toward becoming Delhi's most competitive cricketing platform. Rising Stars: Aaryaveer Kohli & Aryavir Sehwag Spark Buzz Among the hundreds of young players listed for the DPL 2025 auction, the spotlight clearly belongs to Aaryaveer Kohli and Aryavir Sehwag. Aaryaveer Kohli, son of Virat Kohli's elder brother Vikas, is a leg-spinner currently training at West Delhi Cricket Academy under Raj Kumar Sharma, the same coach who nurtured Virat into a global superstar. At just 15, Aaryaveer has already represented Delhi's U-16 squad and has been slotted in Category C for the auction. On the other hand, Aryavir Sehwag, aged 17, is no stranger to the spotlight. He's been a part of the Delhi U-19 team and made headlines when he smashed a sensational 297-run knock against Meghalaya in the Cooch Behar Trophy. His performance didn't just catch selectors' eyes — even his father, Sehwag, couldn't help but tweet jokingly about missing out on a Ferrari by just 3 runs. Aryavir has been placed in Category B, while his younger brother Vedant, a 15-year-old off-spinner representing the Delhi U-16 team, is also in the auction draft, making the Sehwag family a double presence this season. DPL Auction 2025: What to Expect on July 5 The upcoming DPL 2025 auction on July 5 is expected to be a high-stakes affair. With two new teams entering the fray and a major reshuffle of existing squads, franchises will be keen to snap up young and exciting talent early on. The presence of legacy names like Kohli and Sehwag will undoubtedly draw attention, but seasoned domestic performers and emerging stars from the capital's cricket academies will also be closely watched. With preparations in full swing and the tournament likely to kick off in the last week of July, the countdown has officially begun. DPL has become a vital stepping stone for Delhi's cricketing future, and with this injection of star power and youthful energy, season two promises to be bigger, bolder, and better.
