Virat Kohli’s newphew Aryaveer and Virender Sehwag’s son Aaryavir could feature in the upcoming Delhi Premier League (DPL) season after they were picked in the auction held on Sunday in New Delhi.
While Aryaveer was picked for Rs. 1 lakh by South Delhi Superstarz, Aaryavir was a late addition to Central Delhi Kings’ lineup.
As many 520 players went under the hammer, with Digvesh Rathi (Rs. 38 lakh to South Delhi Superstars), Simarjeet Singh (Rs. 39 lakh to Central Delhi Kings), Nitish Rana (Rs. 34 lakh to West Delhi Lions), and Prince Yadav (Rs. 33 lakh to New Delhi Tigers) being the top picks.
Speaking on the occasion, Rohan Jaitley, DDCA president said, “Last year, we pulled off a successful first season in a limited window, thanks to the hard work of everyone involved. With 35 million views on the Jio platform, 1,084 million minutes of watch time, and 240 million views across social media, it’s clear that cricket continues to create a massive global wave of excitement and engagement. This year, we’ve gone a step further—revisiting our auction system, broadening the player base, and elevating domestic cricket to ensure the best talent emerges. We’ve also added two new men’s franchises, continuing our mission to offer top-quality competitive cricket.”
Sehwag added, “I’m really looking forward to this season. It’s a great opportunity for players to shine on a big stage. With selectors and fans watching closely—not just from India, but internationally as well—this league gives a chance to the players to make a mark. We saw some incredible cricket last year, and I’m sure this season will be even more exciting.”
