# Tejasvi Dahiya eyes IPL success after DPL exploits 2026-08-17T14:57:50+00:00 | Sports | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Tejasvi Dahiya, the 24-year-old wicketkeeper-batter, has said he wants to take his game to the next level after a breakout season in the Delhi Premier League (DPL) earned him an IPL contract with Kolkata Knight Riders. The Hindu reports that Tejasvi scored 339 runs in 10 innings at a strike rate of 190.45 for South Delhi Superstarz in the 2025 DPL, leading to his IPL deal. In the 2026 IPL, Tejasvi played only two matches for KKR but described the experience as motivating. 'Getting to play in the IPL was motivating. Playing with some greats was very fruitful. There was a lot to learn,' he said. He is now back in the DPL, where his unbeaten 60 off 29 balls helped Superstarz chase down 218 against New Delhi Tigers on August 15. Tejasvi, known for his big-hitting finisher role, said he does not want to be limited to that tag. 'I don't want to limit myself to a specific role of being a power-hitter or finisher. Yes, these situations tend to be more tricky. I enjoy these situations. But I am not just that,' he asserted. ## Coverage - thehindu.com This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
