The inaugural Delhi Premier League (DPL) is set to get underway soon and will feature some of the top names in Indian cricket.
Stars of the game such as wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant, who leads the Delhi franchise in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and his teammate Ishant Sharma as well as Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) pacer Harshit Rana are set to feature in the inaugural edition.
The DPL is the latest state-based T20 league in India, following the footsteps of the successful Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) and Karnataka Premier League (KPL), and hopes to extract even more world-class cricketing talent from Delhi.
Indian cricket legend Virender Sehwag, who had represented both the Capitals as well as Punjab Kings in the IPL besides being one of India’s greatest openers of all time, has been named brand ambassador for the league.
