The young turk has been in incredible form in the season. Though the innings of 101 is his most recent heroic, he has also scored a blistering 84 in the first match of the season. His knock of 84 came in a run-chase, when the West Delhi Lions were chasing a total in excess of 200. Walking in at three, he hit 10 boundaries and two maximums to play a huge role in taking his team over the line. Krish Yadav and captain Nitish Rana’s cameo also helped in the Lions getting to the target in 17.3 overs. They started their campaign on a positive note.
The Lions are now slotted at the second spot of the points table (as on August 7), with two victories in three matches. Their most recent match against the Purani Delhi 6 was the only instance when they lost. They are slated to play their next fixture against the East Delhi Riders on August 10. The DPL 2025 will be played in a round-robin format. The top-four teams will qualify for the playoffs at the end of the group stage.
These performances might earn Doseja an IPL contract. With the trade windows for the coveted silverware truly underway, it might be a possibility for the left-handed batter. Moreover, some of the franchises who need a top-order batter might have their eyes on the domestic leagues going around. This will help the players in leagues like the DPL, which is a great platform for youngsters. Players like Nitish Rana might keep a watch on the youngster from close quarters. Let’s not forget that Doseja is playing under Nitish Rana under the DPL.
