The Delhi Premier League (DPL) auction 2025 was a blockbuster event, with franchises splashing out big bucks to sign some of the most talented players from the capital. A total of 520 players were up for grabs, and the top picks included Digvesh Rathi, Simarjeet Singh, Nitish Rana, and Prince Yadav. Before the auction, all the franchises, including two new teams, were allowed to retain just one player and had a total auction purse of Rs 1.50 crore.
The Central Delhi Kings made a statement by snagging Simarjeet Singh for a whopping INR 39 lakh, who will complement their retained player Jonty Sidhu with young talents like Yash Dhull and Pranshu Vijayran. The East Delhi Riders bolstered their bowling attack with Navdeep Saini and retained promising youngster Mayank Rawat using their Right to Match (RTM) card.
Meanwhile, the New Delhi Tigers focused on batting firepower, signing Prince Yadav and explosive batsman Hiten Dalal to join Himmat Singh, the winning captain of the inaugural season. Meanwhile, the North Delhi Strikers retained Harshit Rana, Purani Dilli continued with Rishabh Pant and South Delhi Superstarz lost Priyansh Arya to Outer Delhi but hung onto Ayush Badoni.
