A right-arm off-spinner with exceptional control and a growing reputation as a reliable all-rounder, Tripurana Vijay is the latest breakout star from Andhra Pradesh. Born on September 5, 2001, in Tekkali, Vijay has made history as the first cricketer from the Srikakulam district to secure an IPL contract.
As of January 20, 2026, Vijay is entering the IPL 2026 season as a high-potential asset for the Delhi Capitals (DC). Secured for ₹30 Lakh during the December 2025 auction, he is widely regarded as a tactical “Impact Player” who can stifle run rates in the middle overs while contributing useful runs lower down the order.
Tripurana Vijay: Player Profile & Domestic Breakthrough
The 10-Wicket Masterclass
Tripurana Vijay’s ascent to the IPL was fueled by a career-defining performance in the 2024/25 Ranji Trophy. In a high-stakes clash against Rajasthan, he dismantled their batting lineup to claim a brilliant 10-wicket match haul (10/84), including two five-wicket hauls. This feat, combined with his ability to extract bounce and turn even on unresponsive tracks, caught the immediate attention of Delhi Capitals’ scouts.
T20 Prowess: The Economy Specialist
While his red-ball exploits brought him into the limelight, Vijay’s T20 stats make him a perfect fit for the modern game. In the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT), he has maintained a phenomenal economy rate of 6.00, showcasing his ability to bowl under pressure. His career-best T20 figures of 4/8 against Nagaland highlight his efficiency in picking up wickets without leaking runs.
IPL 2026: The New Spinner in the DC Camp
Joining a formidable spin department that includes Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav, Vijay offers a traditional off-spin variation. Under the guidance of the DC coaching staff, he is expected to develop into a secondary spin-bowling all-rounder. Currently, he is in fine rhythm, fresh from the 2025-26 Vijay Hazare Trophy, where he played a pivotal role in Andhra’s middle-order containment strategy.
