India’s former Under-19 captain and Delhi Capitals batter Yash Dhull continued his golden form in the Delhi Premier League (DPL) 2025 season with his second 50-plus score on the trot to guide Central Delhi Kings to another win in the tournament. Dhull, who smashed the first century in the DPL 2025 season in the last match against North Delhi Strikers last week, scored an unbeaten 55 against New Delhi Tigers on Monday at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi to a nine-wicket win with 7 overs to spare.

Chasing a modest target of 125, the Kings got off to a whirlwind start thanks to openers Yash Dhull and Siddharth Joon, who stitched together a 57-run stand in just 4.4 overs. Joon was particularly aggressive, thrilling the crowd with his clean hitting as he smashed 45 off 24 deliveries, laced with two boundaries and five sixes, before being dismissed.

After Joon’s departure, Yash Dhull continued to anchor the innings alongside Yugal Saini, guiding the Kings safely to the target. Dhull brought up a composed half-century, finishing unbeaten and showcasing his growing stature as a reliable top-order batter in this season.

Earlier in the day, it was the Central Delhi Kings’ bowling unit that set the tone for the match. Their disciplined effort restricted the New Delhi Tigers to 124/9 in 20 overs. Gavinsh Khurana led the charge with a sharp spell of 3/20, while Money Grewal and Simarjeet Singh chipped in with two wickets apiece to stifle the Tigers’ batting momentum.

The victory further cements Central Delhi Kings’ reputation as a formidable force in DPL 2025, with both their batting and bowling departments firing in unison.

Yash Dhull has bounced back from his heart surgery

The 22-year-old Delhi batter has an impressive record in T20 cricket. He has scored 826 runs in 28 T20 matches at an average of 41.3 with five fifties to his name.

Dhull missed most of the inaugural DPL season in 2024 due to a heart surgery. But on Sunday, he became the first centurion in DPL 2025 with a brilliant knock of 101 off 56 balls against a Strikers side led by Team India and KKR pacer Harshit Rana. He smashed 8 fours and seven sixes in his maiden DPL century.

On Monday, Dhull clobbered 2 sixes and 7 fours in his 34-ball 55 as Central Delhi Kings overhauled the target in just 13 overs.
