At that stage, Vansh scored 125 runs from seven innings at a strike rate of 160.25 and was in search of the big innings to justify his potential of a power-hitting middle-order batter. A trainee of Ravindra cricket academy in Baljit Nagar, Vansh came into the players' draft as one of the top performers in the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) league, having not played in the Delhi U-19 and U-23 teams before. He scored two consecutive centuries in Ganesh Goswami tournament and was the best batter in the Sahibzada T20 tournament, scoring more than 550 runs last year. According to a report by The Delhi Junction, Vansh scored 216 runs off just 104 balls to help Yorks Cricket Club register a whopping 287-run win over Roop Nagar Club in a Super Elite 3 game in DDCA League. He finished with 11 centuries in the 2023-24 club season. Coming back to his stint in the Delhi Premier League, Vansh wasn't lacking in self confidence but wasn't able to execute his power-hitting game after he was played as a floater between No.5 and No.7. Although he is a wicketkeeper-batter, the uncapped Delhi player was played as impact player in three matches and there was no defined role for him as Lalit Yadav, one of the team captains, said he was supposed to be fixed in match-related situations.

(Photo: DPL T20 2024) Lalit, who has played for Delhi Capitals in the IPL for past four seasons, called Vansh a 'smart player' who can adapt to situations, can score freely and build partnerships also. It was evident, when Vansh and Lalit were involved in an unbeaten 79-run partnership in the tournament opener, which also featured Rishabh Pant as Purani Dilli 6 captain. Vansh blitzed 47 runs off 19 balls, powered by four boundaries and as many sixes, to propel Purani Dilli to 197 for 3 after 20 overs. Though the stylish cameo turned into a losing cause, the youngster announced himself into the scene of Delhi cricket circuit. However, four single-digit scores and two decent outings didn't add much to his confidence. All he wanted was a big knock from his willow. And it was the match against eventual champions East Delhi Riders when the Brendon McCullum fan played a Glenn Maxwell-esque innings. The much-needed breakthrough While chasing a mammoth total of 242, Purani Dilli was reduced to 34 for 3 inside the powerplay. In came Vansh and displayed the slog-sweep off left-arm spinner Harsh Tyagi on the very first ball, dispatching it over deep midwicket for his first six of the night. He targeted the spinners with the sweeps and pulls over long-on. When the likes of Harsh, Ansh Choudhary, and Rounak Waghela were taken to the cleaners, East Delhi riders skipper Himmat Singh decided to roll the arms himself in an attempt to stop the wreckage. Nevertheless, Himmat was welcomed with two alluring sixes, a slog and a scoop on the leg side as Vansh completed his maiden DPL half-century in just 19 balls. It was after smashing eight sixes, Vansh hit his first boundary over mid-wicket in the 12th over. He was restless against Himmat throughout their face-off, hammering five sixes and two boundaries. The scintillating knock came to an end after Vansh attempted to play across the stump against Harsh Tyagi's off-spin, and as a result, was pinned before the wickets. He missed a well-deserved century by four runs. His 41-ball 96 didn't help Purani Dilli any closer in the humungous chase but helped them to avoid a dipping net run rate (NRR). Vansh didn't got chance to bat later in the tournament as his team's semi-final game against South Delhi Superstarz was washed away, and consequently, they were eliminated because of inferior finish on the points table.
