New Delhi [India], July 8, 2025: Purani Dilli 6, the semi-finalist of the 2024 edition of the Delhi Premier League (DPL), have made exciting additions to their squad with several impactful picks during the Season 2 auctions held on Sunday in the national capital. In a special moment ahead of the auction proceedings, the team management also unveiled the new jersey for the 2025 season, a bold, refreshed design that reflects the spirit, grit, and ambition of the Purani Dilli. With marquee player Rishabh Pant already retained ahead of the auctions, Purani Dilli 6 went into the event with a focused strategy to build a balanced and versatile unit. Purani Dilli 6 made impactful bids at the auction, securing Vansh Bedi for 16 lakhs, Dev Lakra for 14 lakhs, and Aayush Singh and Samarth Seth for 9 lakhs each, reinforcing their core with top domestic talent. Speaking about the team's auction approach, Purani Dilli 6 coach and former India cricketer Vijay Dahiya said, as quoted by the DPL press release, 'The idea was to bring in as many all-rounders as possible to keep the squad flexible and tactically strong. We've picked players who can contribute in multiple departments, which is crucial in a T20 format.' Akash Nangia, owner of Purani Dilli 6, expressed satisfaction with the auction outcome and the team's direction heading into the new season. 'We're thrilled with the way the squad has shaped up. It's a great mix of experience and youth, flair and discipline. With Rishabh Pant at the core and a solid group of players around him, we're confident and excited for what lies ahead,' he said.

Virender Sehwag's Son Receives Massive Bid In DPL Auction, Virat Kohli's Nephew Sold For...
A call to the next generation was made in the Delhi Premier League (DPL) 2025 auction, as the son of legendary India opener Virender Sehwag and the nephew of star India batter Virat Kohli were bought. Sehwag's older son, Aaryavir, was bought for a handsome fee of Rs 8 lakh by Central Delhi Kings. At the age of 18, Sehwag's son is part of the Delhi under 19-cricket team. On the other hand, Kohli's nephew, incidentally also named Aryaveer, was picked up for Rs 1 lakh by DPL 2024 runners-up South Delhi Superstarz. Aaryavir Sehwag, also a powerful opener like his father, drew in a bidding war from multiple teams, with Central Delhi Kings ultimately getting him. On the other hand, Kohli's nephew Aryaveer, a leg-spinner, was picked up by South Delhi Superstarz, who will be led by Delhi Ranji Trophy captain and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) star Ayush Badoni. Meanwhile, it was pacer Simarjeet Singh who became the costliest player of the DPL 2025 auction. Central Delhi Kings did not hesitate to splash big on the fast bowler, signing him for Rs 39 lakh. Shortly behind Simarjeet, it was mystery spinner Digvesh Singh who got the second-highest bid. Digvesh was purchased for Rs 38 lakh by South Delhi Superstarz. Purani Dilli 6, the semi-finalist of the 2024 edition of the Delhi Premier League (DPL), had officially announced the retention of star wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant for the upcoming season, retaining him as their marquee player ahead of the auction. Purani Dilli 6 had a decent campaign in DPL 2024, showcasing solid performances throughout the league stage. However, their journey was cut short in unfortunate circumstances as the semi-final clash was called off due to rain. With Pant continuing to anchor the squad, the team is expected to build a more competitive unit heading into the 2025 season. Expressing his excitement, Pant said, "The DPL serves as an excellent platform for young talent to showcase their skills and much credit is due to Rohan Jaitley and the DDCA for successfully organising this league. Many players from across the country have emerged and developed through the opportunities provided by the DPL, such as Digvesh Rathi and Priyansh Arya, among others." "Purani Dilli 6 truly feels like home, fueled by the vibrant energy of the Delhi fans and an unparalleled hunger to win. Following a promising season last year, our determination to succeed has only intensified, and we are optimistic about returning even stronger this year," Pant added.

Ex-CSK Star Beats Digvesh Rathi To Become Most Expensive Buy In Delhi Premier League Auction
Sunrisers Hyderabad fast bowler Simarjeet Singh become the most expensive player in the Delhi Premier League (DPL) 2025 auction on Sunday. The pacer, who previously played for Chennai Super Kings in the IPL, was bought by Central Delhi Kings for Rs 39 Lakh. He ended up fetching a higher price than Lucknow Super Giants spinner Digvesh Rathi (Rs 38 Lakh) and Rajasthan Royals star Nitish Rana (Rs 34 Lakh). Outer Delhi Warriors and New Delhi Tigers are the two new franchises that joined the league that comprises of North Delhi Strikers, Central Delhi Kings, Purani Dilli, West Delhi Lions, East Delhi Riders, and South Delhi Superstarz. Simarjeet attracted bids from South Delhi, North Delhi, and West Delhi Lions before he was eventually picked by Central Delhi Kings for the record amount. Digvesh was an attractive prospect for several franchises and although Purani Dilli and South Delhi Superstarz were embroiled in a bidding war, it was South Delhi Superstarz who ended up buying him. Rishabh Pant will be staying on with Purani Dilli 6 for the upcoming season of Delhi Premier League but whether he would be available for any games considering the national team's schedule is a big question. Pant, inarguably, the biggest attraction among a bevy of young T20 stars lighting up the league, played one game in the inaugural edition last year. "Purani Dilli 6 has officially announced the retention of star wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant for the upcoming season. Pant has been retained as the marquee player," the franchise stated in a media release. "Many players from across the country have emerged and developed through the opportunities provided by the DPL, such as Digvesh Rathi, Priyansh Arya, among others. Purani Dilli 6 truly feels like home. Following a promising season last year, we are optimistic about returning even stronger this year," Pant was quoted as saying.
