The Indian fans are back with some intense T20 thrills as the Delhi Premier League has returned with its second season. Facing the Outer Delhi Warriors in the last clash, the New Delhi Tigers registered an impressive victory.
As Outer Delhi faced a tough defeat, IPL sensations, Priyansh Arya and Suyash Sharma faltered under pressure. The duo failed to make an impact as the team faced a tough defeat in their tournament opener.
Priyansh Arya And Suyash Sharma Falter At The DPL Stage
In the recently ended IPL 2025, Punjab Kings opener Priyansh Arya grabbed headlines in his debut season with his batting brilliance. Scoring 475 runs in 17 matches, the young opener grabbed a hefty deal with the Outer Delhi Warriors in the ongoing DPL. Meanwhile, the Warriors also secured RCB’s rising star, bowler Suyash Sharma, who dazzled fans with his decent performance in the cash-rich tournament.
As the Outer Delhi Warriors faced the New Delhi Tigers in their first match, the duo’s struggle grabbed the limelight. While bowling in the first innings, the Warriors' bowlers struggled as Suyash Sharma leaked 33 runs in 4 overs and failed to secure any grabs. His off-form deepened their woes.
While chasing the massive total of 223 runs, opener Priyansh Arya got a good start but failed to convert it into an impactful knock. In the 6th over, Part Bali sent him back in 26 runs in 15 balls, and the opener failed to have a dazzling start to his DPL campaign.
The team spent a hefty amount of 1.50 crore while securing their service in the ongoing season, but the duo failed to deliver on their tournament opener. As Suyash Sharma lifted the IPL 2025 trophy with RCB and Arya ended up being the runners up with PBKS, they DPL 2025 journey started on a tough note.
The Tigers Pull Off A Thrilling Win
While batting first in the match, the New Delhi Tigers got a tough start as Dhruv Kaushik walked away, scoring only 5 runs. After that, Shivam Gupta and Captain Himmat Singh’s exceptional partnership changed the game. Their iconic 164-run partnership helped the side to put on a 222-run total on the board.
While defending the total, the Tigers’ bowlers dazzled with their brilliance. After Aatrey Tripathi secured two crucial scalps, Parth Bali and Himmat Singh secured one wicket each. With that dominance, they secured a commanding 40-run victory.
