The Purani Dilli 6 franchise, having reached the semi-finals in the 2024 season, has secured the services of Rishabh Pant as their marquee player for the upcoming Delhi Premier League (DPL) 2025. This decision reflects the team’s determination to challenge for the title. The team’s campaign last season was affected when their semi-final was cancelled.
Team owner Akash Nangia emphasized Pant’s significance, referring to him as the heart of Purani Dilli 6. Pant’s abilities and leadership are considered crucial assets. Pant also praised the DPL for encouraging young talent. The league is expanding, with two new teams joining for the 2025 season. The player auctions will take place in New Delhi, and matches will be held at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. The new season is expected to feature intense competition and exciting matches.
