Former Delhi Capitals opener, Yash Dhull, lit up the stage in the Delhi Premier League (DPL) 2025 as he smacked a whirlwind 56-ball century to help his team, Central Delhi Kings, beat the North Delhi Strikers in the second match of the tournament on Sunday. His side needed 175 runs to win, but the batter finished the game inside 18 overs.

On a flat surface at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Dhull grabbed the opportunity with both hands as he tormented the North Delhi bowlers and smacked the first century of the 2025 edition. His innings was laced with 8 fours and 7 huge sixes.

The target of 175 was always going to be a tricky aspect, but Dhull made his intentions clear right from ball one, as he added 82 runs for the second wicket alongside Yugal Saini, and steered the team past the winning line with utmost ease. This knock could also put him in the limelight for the IPL 2025 mini auction.

Yash Dhull's IPL career

Yash Dhull made a name for himself even before his domestic debut, as the top order batter was selected as the captain of the India team in the Under-19 World Cup in 2022. After an impressive showing there, the battr put forward his name in the IPL auction, and Delhi Capitals came calling as he was purchased for 50 lakhs.

He didn't play a single game in the 2022 edition, but got his breakthrough the subsequent year. However, it was a forgettable season as Dhull could only score 16 runs in four matches.

Teams that could target Dhull in IPL

Dhull started DPL with a scintillating century, but there is still a long way to go. If he continues to perform, teams in IPL will notice him. KKR could particularly be interested, since the franchise lacks a quality opener. They have Sunil Narine, and Rahmanullah Gurbaz, who struggled last season, and if Dhull continues to dazzle in DPL 2025, he could be in for a big money move.
