Priyansh Arya - An Explosive Batter: This year's IPL season is providing a platform for many young talents. Among them, Punjab Kings' Priyansh Arya has given hints that he will become a big star in the future. The Delhi-based batsman is known for his fearless batting against any bowling attack. Once he stands at the crease, he doesn't play under pressure, no matter how many wickets falls, and he doesn't care who the opposing bowler is. This is his specialty. For this reason, the Punjab Kings team bought this left-handed batsman for 3.8 crore rupees, who had a base price of Rs 30 lakh.
It was certainly opening batsman Priyansh Arya who dashed the dreams of the CSK bowlers of crushing the Punjab Kings team for a small total. While wickets were falling, this young batsman from Delhi was the only one who kept on hitting boundaries and sixes, regardless of the situation. The result was a century in just 39 balls. This is the second fastest century by an Indian batsman in IPL history and the fastest century by an Indian uncapped player.
Finally, Priyansh completed his part of the task with ease before handing over his wicket to spinner Noor Ahmad. He smashed 103 runs off 42 balls, which included 7 fours and 9 sixes. It wasn't Punjab Kings who beat Chennai in Mullanpur on Tuesday. It was the one and only Priyansh Arya. Otherwise, just imagine. In the match held in Mullanpur, all of Priyansh's teammates were being bowled out one by one by the Chennai bowlers. He was the only one playing without any awareness of it. Despite scoring 83 runs in 8 overs, Punjab had already lost five wickets.
Who is this Priyansh?
Priyansh Arya, an attacking opener, has shone in the Delhi Premier League (DPL). Playing for South Delhi Superstars, he became the highest run-scorer in the tournament with 608 runs in ten innings. He had made everyone smile by hitting six sixes off all six balls of the over against North Delhi Strikers in the tournament. When he scored 120 runs off 50 balls in that match, it was clear that he was no ordinary man.
Not only this, but in the 2023-24 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, Priyansh emerged as Delhi's leading run-scorer. He scored 222 runs in seven innings at an average of 31.71. His strike rate of 166.91 was so impressive. Despite being selected for the IPL 2024 auction, Priyansh remained unsold.
Punjab Kings franchise had their eye on Priyansh
This time, the Punjab franchise had their eye on him earlier. That's why they blindly bought him for Rs 3.8 crore, despite having a starting capital of Rs 30 lakh. Everyone knew he was a talent when he scored 47 runs against Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad. Now it has been proven. Spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has already praised his talent and described him as a future star.
