Purani Dilli 6, a semi-finalist in the 2024 season, has retained Rishabh Pant as their marquee player for the upcoming Delhi Premier League (DPL) 2025. Pant’s presence underscores the team’s ambition to contend for the title after a solid performance last season.
In the previous DPL season, Purani Dilli 6 showed promise but faced disappointment when their semi-final was cancelled due to weather. With Pant back in the team, the franchise is focused on building a stronger squad.
Team owner Akash Nangia expressed his enthusiasm, highlighting Pant’s value to the team. Pant’s experience and leadership are seen as a significant advantage. Pant himself expressed his appreciation for the league’s promotion of young cricketers.
The DPL is expanding, with two new teams joining, increasing the total number of teams to eight for the 2025 season. The player auctions will be held in New Delhi on July 6 and 7, and matches will be played at Arun Jaitley Stadium. The upcoming season promises to be exciting, featuring new talent and increased competition.
