Tejasvi Dahiya is a promising young wicketkeeper batter from Delhi who burst onto the national radar with a spectacular 2025 Delhi Premier League campaign. At 24 years old, the right-handed gloveman turned heads by smashing 339 runs at a strike rate approaching 200, finishing as the tournament’s second-highest six-hitter. His explosive performances caught the attention of multiple franchises, leading to a dramatic IPL 2026 auction where the Kolkata Knight Riders secured him for INR 3 crore after a fierce bidding war with Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals. Despite being unsold in the previous auction cycle, Dahiya’s journey from mathematics and economics teachers’ son to IPL star underscores his remarkable rise in Indian cricket.
