Vansh Bedi, a wicketkeeper-batter from Delhi, was part of the Nepal Pro Club Championships before the Delhi Premier League (DPL) started. He played for Purani Dilli 6 last year and scored 221 runs in 8 matches. His aggressive batting style caught the eye of many.
A big moment was his 96 off 41 against East Delhi Riders which cemented his reputation as a big hitter. He hit 22 sixes in 9 matches, averaging 44.2 with a strike rate of 185.71. This season was good enough to get him an IPL 2025 chance where CSK picked him up for ₹55 lakh after outbidding SRH. Vansh talked about his experience with Purani Dilli 6, his time with CSK, his conversations with MS Dhoni and what he learned from his first IPL season.
Experience of captaining the side
Vansh said about leading the team in DPL, “It’s been great. It’s my first time as captain and I have tried to learn from last season especially from how Lalit Yadav handled things. The competition has not been a dream come true for us so far but I am enjoying the responsibility and I am confident we will recover.”
