Born on September 5, 2001, in Tekkali, Andhra Pradesh, Tripurana Vijay is a talented right-arm off-break bowler and a capable right-handed batter. He rose to domestic prominence during the 2024/25 Ranji Trophy season, where he registered a sensational 10-wicket match haul against Rajasthan. His ability to maintain a tight economy averaging just 6.00 in his early T20 career makes him a valuable asset in the shorter format. Initially signed by Delhi Capitals for INR 30 Lakh in the 2025 Mega Auction, Vijay has been retained for the 2026 season. This stint offers him a massive opportunity to nurture his skills under Head Coach Ricky Ponting and rub shoulders with the likes of KL Rahul, Kuldeep Yadav etc.
