3 IPL Discards Who Will Be Aiming To Impress In DPL 2025 – Cricket.com

State T20 leagues have given life to a lot of players who have been discarded by the Indian Premier League (IPL) or their state teams. One such example is that of Karun Nair, who even got back into the national team, and is now ready to move back to Karnataka, his original state team, after the sensational Maharaja T20 Trophy 2024. 
Zeeshan Ansari, who got back into the UP state team as well as bagged an IPL contract with SRH, is another such example. 
Thus, players from Delhi, who have had a good amount of IPL experience but are now facing flak for not being picked by the IPL teams any more, have the Delhi Premier League (DPL) 2025 at their disposal. They can try and get back into the mix again by string showing in DPL 2025. 
Here are three such prominent players who can make an IPL comeback by having an impressive DPL 2025.

Having already played for India and being one of the regulars for the Delhi state team, Navdeep Saini has found the going a bit tough in the recent past. He last played a proper T20 in 2023. He played two matches each for the Delhi state team as well as the Rajasthan Riyals in 2023. 

In 2024, Saini tried to make a comeback to the shortest format through the DPL 2024, but could only play five games and didn’t do well even in them, picking just two wickets in them. But the 32-year-old will be eyeing the 2025 DPL as an opportunity to get noticed by the IPL scouts and turn things around.

Once regarded as one of the two upcoming all-rounders for the Delhi Capitals alongside Axar Patel, Lalit Yadav just went so down in the pecking order that in IPL 2025, nobody even picked him in any side. 
The 28-year-old all-rounder, who played 27 games for the Capitals between 2021 and 2024, had a very average DPL 2024, where he scored only 157 runs and took just four wickets for Purani Delhi 6 side. 
In the new season, the man with 305 runs and 10 wickets in his IPL career will try to get serious and turn the heads of the scouts around.

An India Under-19 World Cup-winning captain from Delhi is not new and neither is he then going on to lose the plot. Yash Dhull has both the examples of Virat Kohli and Unmukt Chand right in front of him, and he can choose which one he wants to be. 
At the age of 22, the left-handed batter stands at the crossroads and DPL 2025 is the best opportunity for him to grab and turn things around in T20 cricket. With a very average DPL 2024 where he played only five games, Dhull will look to make this season count. 

Although he was unable to perform well in the four matches that he played for Delhi Capitals, Dhull has the credentials and the potential to rise above that, as he has an average of 41 for a top-order batter. All he has to work on is his strike rate, which is in the 120s and not at all ideal in modern-day T20 cricket.
