Atal, who made headlines with his heroic 85-run knock against Australia in the ICC Champions Trophy earlier this year, has played 49 T20s across various competitions, scoring 1,507 runs at an average of 34.25, including 13 half-centuries.
Sediqullah Atal will join Delhi Capitals for his base price of Rs 1.25 Crore.
Sediqullah Atal from Afghanistan has scored 1507 T20 runs in 49 matches. The left-handed batter made his T20I debut in 2023 and has represented Afghanistan in all three formats.
He first rose to prominence during the Kabul Premier League 2023 , where he smashed 48 runs in a single over. In that innings, he remained unbeaten on 118 off 56 balls, which included seven fours and ten sixes. He also scored a century in the tournament final, making 103 off just 42 deliveries.
Atal played a pivotal role in Afghanistan’s title win at the ACC Men’s T20 Emerging Teams Asia Cup 2024, topping the run-scorers’ chart with 368 runs in five matches.
Hemang Badani, Head Coach, welcomed the left-hander to the franchise, “We are excited to welcome Atal to the Delhi Capitals. He is an exciting, young talent who has impressed everyone with his performances for both the Afghanistan youth and senior teams. Going into this important phase of the tournament, his presence will certainly add depth to our batting lineup.”
Delhi Capitals will be taking on Punjab Kings in their 12th league game of the IPL 2025 season on Thursday in Dharamsala.
