North Delhi attackers paid Rs 7.75 lake at DPL 2025 MEGA Auction to acquire Arnav Bugga.
This does not come a surprise at all when the inspiration of a cricket player born in Delhi is Virat Kohli. After all, it is a tailor -made model, having won everything there is to win in the cricket umbrella. It is a real inspiration when it comes to motivating a change in the state of mind and the physical form. Arnav Bugga is one of the many talents that have been inspired by the legendary figure. The elegant left -hander is only 17 years old, making waves at the Premier League of Delhi (DPL).
A jewel of manufacturing at DPL 2025?
Although it may be too early to say, but Arnav Bugga is a talent you need to watch. DPL provided a perfect platform to players to present their crazy talent which continued to change their careers. Priyansh Arya, for example, is now a regular after his incontestable performance at the 2024 DPL, after which he was bagged by the Kings of Punjab (PBKS) in IPL 2025.
Now, the second season of DPL has started and with two new teams in the mixture, more and more players will come in the foreground with their talents. Arnav Bugga, who is now with the attackers in northern Delhi, had an instant impact. Bugga, who played the inaugural season at the bottom of the order, came to beat at number three. After NDS lost an early window, Bugga entered and looked at Sublime Touch from the word Go.
Bellying his age was his shots. Bugga, against the smoking rhythm of Simarjeet Singh and money grew up, standing and hammered in front of the counter. His strike rate against each of the six quisters he faced was over 100. Even his senior partner, Sarthak Ranjan, who made a fight 82, admitted that he wanted to give Bugga the strike, while the Southpaw struck deliveries very proper. Bugga struck races at 155.81, hammering 67 in 43.
Supported by Harshit Rana, inspired by Kohli
The 17-year-old, who is even selected in the Indian team under 19 for the tour in Australia later this year (on stand-by), admitted that his model is none other than Virat Kohli. He even addressed how superbly supported him. While Bugga was used sporadically by Purani Dilli 6 last year, Rana supported him instantly and collected investments.
“It doesn’t matter that I am 17 years old. Like every player, everyone plays in the same league, that is to say the Premier League of Delhi. So age is not a big factor”, ” Bugga told Insideport after the Kings of the Delhi center beat North Delhi in the second match of the 2025 DPL. “My model is Virat Kohli. I started playing at the age of six. I was aggressive from the start. Whenever I think you need a ball, I’m going to hit him.
“Harshit Rana gave me enough confidence. Since practice, Bhaiya (Harshit Rana) has shown us enormous support. He never let us feel that he was playing internationally. He was very familiar with us and put us at ease.“”
