Delhi [India], August 1, 2025: As the curtains go up on the Second Season of the Delhi Premier League T 20, the South Delhi Superstarz Men’s team that will be clashing with the East Delhi Riders on the first day of the season, is geared up to make a powerful statement. After an impressive campaign in the inaugural edition, where they emerged as runners-up, the team is hungrier than ever to go one step further and claim the championship title this time around.
With a blend of experienced campaigners and exciting young talent, the Superstarz have already hit the ground running in their pre-season training. The squad has shown unwavering focus and intensity in their preparations, setting a high benchmark for the upcoming tournament.
Their momentum is further fueled by the passion and vision of Indian cricket legend and team co-owner, Shikhar Dhawan, who recently shared his thoughts in an Instagram video that quickly struck a chord with fans and players alike. Addressing fans in the video, Dhawan said, “Everyone dreams, but only a few are the ones who go from the streets to the stadium. From South Delhi Superstarz have emerged some names who not only won matches but also earned people’s trust. Beneath the jersey, they are not just players, but there is a fire within them to make their place, to perform, to rise. I have received everything from cricket, and now it’s time to give back to cricket.” Dhawan concluded with a powerful sentiment: “South Delhi Superstarz is not just a team, that’s where names are made and legacies begin.”
Under the dynamic leadership of captain Ayush Badoni, the South Delhi Superstarz Men’s squad is confident and well-balanced. A day before the first match, Ayush said, “The team combination is really good, and I am enjoying it a lot with them. I do not think about the captaincy pressure when I am batting, and I try to win as many matches as possible as a batter. This year RCB has won in the IPL so this time it is about the colour red.” Bringing that winning spirit and energy, the team is keen to make its mark this season.
Former India cricketer and team coach Sarandeep Singh added, “Our openers are playing well, the middle order is strong, and we have a good ‘headache’ — that we have to choose our best 11 as most of the players are in form.” This rich pool of in-form players gives South Delhi a promising edge as they prepare to battle the best in the league.
The much-anticipated Delhi Premier League T20 Season 2 is all set to kick off today, promising weeks of top-tier cricketing action and fierce competition. In what promises to be a blockbuster opening clash, the South Delhi Superstarz Men’s team will square off against the East Delhi Riders at 7:00 PM under the lights, setting the tone for an exciting season ahead.
With both teams eyeing a winning start, fans can expect a high-octane encounter filled with intensity, skill, and nail-biting moments. The Superstarz, coming off a stellar runners-up finish in Season 1, are ready to stamp their authority early and begin their campaign on a high.
The stage is set. The preparations are complete. The countdown has begun — and as Shikhar Dhawan said, this is where legacies begin.
