The DDCA in Delhi organised and setup the Delhi Premier League T20 and the first edition of the league began on 17th Aug 2024. Both men’s and women’s tournaments were announced together, to be played simultaneously from the year of inception onwards, which was a great gesture towards equality in cricket in India.
On this page on Read Scoops, we’ll particularly look at the men’s DPL T20 tournament and see which players have achieved the best results so far, especially those with the bat. The 6 franchise teams participating from the first season include South Delhi, North Delhi, East Delhi, Central Delhi, West Delhi, and Purani Dilli 6.
Many Team India and even Indian Premier League batters were a part of the action in DPL T20 2024, and some new talents came under the limelight as well. On this page, we’ll cover a complete Delhi Premier League centuries list, from the first season till date. The first DPL T20 century was scored by South Delhi Superstarz opener, Priyansh Arya, who scored 107(55)* in Match 15.
Arya had a super successful first season in this tournament, with 4 fifties and 2 centuries with a total of 550+ runs scored, topping the charts for the most runs scored in the season too. His season century saw him scoring 120(55) in a record-breaking partnership with Ayush Badoni; he is currently the only player with two DPL T20 centuries.
