Lalit Yadav knows what needs to be done to be selected in the forthcoming IPL 2025 mega auction. Since 2020, the Delhi Capitals have placed their trust in him; nevertheless, the dynamics of his retention could alter in the forthcoming auction. But Yadav’s attention is on the here and now.
In the inaugural Delhi Premier League (DPL 2024), Purani Delhi 6 is being led by all-rounder Lalit Yadav of Delhi while wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant is not available. At the beginning of the tournament, Yadav’s side had consecutive defeats under his captaincy. But they won their first match under Yadav on Wednesday night, defeating Hrithik Shokeen’s West Delhi Lions by a seven-wicket margin.
Purani Delhi 6 won the match, which was significant because they held West Delhi to just 141 runs overall. Arpit Rana, a youthful opener, put on an outstanding display, leading his team home with an undefeated score of 59. Yadav understood the significance of this pivotal moment in history. The 27-year-old is embracing the captaincy role and looking to veterans like Pant and Ishant Sharma for guidance.
It’s an amazing sensation. Always, the first victory is memorable. We had been anticipating this. It will transform the vibe in the dressing room and give us confidence moving forward. At last, there is something on the points table,” Lalit said to.
It’s entertaining at times, but it’s also difficult. I’m just thinking about how I can keep giving it my all because it’s a fantastic opportunity for me. There is a mix of younger and older guys on the side. When Rishabh and Ishant Bhaiya were here, they both shared their ideas with us. The outcome of today clearly showed that it gave the newcomers a sense of confidence. Therefore, we must continue attempting those things in the future, Lalit continued.
After working on my versions, I feel rather secure in them: Lalit Yadav
To be honest, I’m thinking about [Auction] occasionally. I think the DPL is an excellent platform, and so do all the young players in the competition. You are being observed by the franchises while it airs. However, I am telling myself to start with the DPL. He added, “And I’ll have something in my hand as well, if God is willing.
The victory over the West Delhi Lions, in which Yadav also contributed by grabbing an early wicket and opening the bowling, is only the start. He’s determined to keep up the momentum by concentrating on steady performances and staying true to his core principles.
If we examine the last two games, there were certain instances of subpar play. In summary, though, we performed admirably. However, we talked about it before the game today so that we can play consistently for the full 40 overs.

We must constantly remind ourselves to stick to the fundamentals in the next games and avoid making things too complicated. I’ll give it my all, and this is a wise strategy. I’ve been practicing my variations, and I feel rather secure in them,” Lalit said.
