Sahil Parakh IPL 2026: After scoring 264 runs against Punjab Kings, Delhi Capitals took a big decision and gave a debut opportunity to an 18-year-old young player. In the match against Royal Challengers Bangalore, Delhi has made the debut of Sahil Parakh, who is a left-handed batsman. Delhi Capitals dropped Pathum Nissanka and gave a chance to Sahil. This player is a resident of Maharashtra and has not even made his debut in domestic cricket yet. This player has played Under 19 cricket for Maharashtra and India.
Who is Sahil Parakh?
Sahil Parakh has played two T20 matches so far and has failed in both. He has only 24 runs in 2 matches. But this player is considered very talented. He is known for scoring runs fast. This player came into limelight after scoring 109 runs in 75 balls against Australia in Under-19 cricket. This player has played against Eagles Nashik Titans in Maharashtra Premier League. Seeing the talent of Sahil Parakh, Delhi Capitals bought him at the base price of Rs 30 lakh.
Sahil Parakh was made a cricketer by his father
His father Ulhas Parakh is behind making Sahil Parakh a cricketer.
He always kept his son in military-like discipline. Besides, his mother Snehal Parakh also had a big contribution in making her son a cricketer. His mother has been traveling with Sahil to every city, every Under-19 camp and match. This player is also called the diamond of Nashik. However, the special thing about Sahil is that he never risked his studies for the sake of cricket. Sahil had secured 92 percent marks in the board exam.Kyle Jameson also gets a chance
