IPL 2025 featured a memorable night for Priyansh Arya, who, at 24, scored 103 runs off 42 balls for Punjab Kings. Achieving his maiden century in his debut season, his remarkable innings quickly went viral on social media, making it a cinematic moment in cricket’s grand tournament.
Priyansh Arya kicked off his innings in an electrifying manner, hitting a six off the first ball from Khaleel Ahmed and scoring 16 runs in the opening over. He showcased his aggressive style, amassing a total of 103 runs, which included 7 fours and 9 sixes, while maintaining his rhythm even after wickets fell.
Following the match, Punjab Kings’ assistant coach Brad Haddin commended him, indicating that Priyansh possesses special talent. He acknowledged the impressive nature of a delivery from Jofra Archer that resulted in Priyansh’s wicket, highlighting his ability to learn quickly.
Priyansh garnered attention in 2024 for hitting six consecutive sixes in an over while playing for the South Delhi Superstars in the Delhi Premier League, where he scored 120 runs. He was also Delhi’s top performer in the 2023-24 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Though unsold in the 2024 IPL auction, the Punjab Kings acquired him for ₹3.8 crores, which he has justified with his performance.
