The Outer Delhi Warriors, a debutant team in the Delhi Premier League (DPL), have appointed Delhi’s all-rounder and left-arm pacer Siddhant Sharma as their captain for the upcoming 2025 season. With an eye on building a competitive and dynamic side, the franchise has placed its trust in Siddhant to lead a promising squad featuring talents like Suyash Sharma and Priyansh Arya.
A Leader with Versatility and Domestic Experience
Siddhant Sharma has carved a niche for himself in domestic cricket over the years. He made his Ranji Trophy debut for Delhi in the 2019–20 season against Gujarat and went on to make his T20 debut for the side in 2020–21, showcasing his adaptability across formats. Previously associated with teams like the Dehradun Devils, Siddhant is now geared up to spearhead the Warriors’ campaign with a winning mindset.
