Lalit Yadav

Hitting six sixes in an over will be any batsman's dream but meet Lalit Yadav - a young cricketer from Delhi who's done it not once, but twice. In a T20 match played at Najafgarh Sports complex, Lalit smacked six sixes in an over while playing for Sporting Club. The flamboyant batsman scored 130 runs in only 46 balls in a knock that consisted of 13 maximums and 9 boundaries. The opposition was stunned by Lalit's knock and they were bundled out for 75 during the run chase. Prior to this event, he had also scored six sixes in an over during the DDCA T20 league at Feroz Shah Kotla.

Lalit Yadav made his first-class debut against Maharashtra in 2017 where he scored 52 in his first innings as Delhi posted a massive score of 419 and won the match by an innings and 61 runs. In his first four innings in first-class cricket, Lalit had three fifties to his name, which talks a lot about his consistency and contribution in the team's victory.

A powerful middle-order batter, a handy off-break bowler and an excellent fielder, Lalit Yadav possesses skill sets that are always in demand, especially in the shorter format. It wasn't surprising then that he was picked up by the Delhi Capitals in the 2020 IPL Auction for his base price of INR 20 lakh. Despite being an unproven talent, Lalit was given opportunities at the Capitals and he had decent returns. He saw his stocks rise at the 2022 IPL Mega Auction, where he was picked up by DC for INR 65 lakh.

Lalit's best knock in the IPL came in the form of an unbeaten 38-ball 48 against the Mumbai Indians in 2022. With his side down 72-5 chasing 178, Lalit joined forces with Axar Patel and the duo took their side through to an unlikely win. He scored his maiden first-class century in a Ranji Trophy game against Tamil Nadu in 2022.
