The Delhi Premier League (DPL) 2025 men’s player auction was held on July 6 in New Delhi, and it brought plenty of excitement for cricket fans. This is the second season of the DPL, and it’s already growing fast, with two new teams, the Outer Delhi Warriors and the New Delhi Tigers, joining the league. That means there are now eight teams fighting for the title.

Before the auction, each team was allowed to keep (retain) one player from their previous squad. This gave the franchises a chance to build around a key player they trusted.

Players were divided into three categories:

  • Category A: Experienced players, like those who played in the IPL or state-level cricket.
  • Category B: Under-23 and Under-19 cricketers.
  • Category C: Under-16 rising talents.

  • Digvesh Rathi, who was a standout in IPL 2025, got ₹38 lakh from a bidding war.
