PBKS vs CSK: A new star has emerged in IPL 2025—24-year-old Delhi batsman Priyansh Arya. Playing for Punjab Kings, Priyansh played such a stormy innings against Chennai Super Kings that everyone from the field to social media became crazy about his batting. In this exciting match played at Mullanpur Stadium, he surprised everyone by scoring 103 runs in just 42 balls.

Preity Zinta immersed in celebration on century

When Priyansh completed his century by hitting the last six, the happiness of Punjab Kings co-owner Preity Zinta present in the stadium was worth seeing. She not only jumped from her seat, but also celebrated this historic innings of Priyansh with loud applause and smile. As soon as the camera captured her reaction, that clip went viral on social media. This jugalbandi of Preity and Priyansh has become a topic of discussion among cricket lovers.

Second fastest Indian century in IPL history

This innings of Priyansh was not just entertaining but also proved to be record-breaking. He completed his century in 39 balls and secured the second position among the fastest Indian century makers in IPL history. Till now this record was in the name of Yusuf Pathan in 2010, who scored a century in 37 balls. However, Priyansh's style and aggressive batting reminded everyone of Yusuf.

Bid of 3.8 crores, base price of 30 lakhs

Priyansh, who had played an innings of 120 runs and six sixes in an over in the Delhi Premier League, had already indicated that he was going to make a big bang. On the basis of his same performance, Punjab Kings included him in their team by placing a huge bid of Rs 3.8 crore, while his base price was just 30 lakhs. There was a tough competition between many franchises for him in the mega auction.

Special bond with Gambhir

Delhi resident Priyansh's cricketing journey is strengthened not only by talent but also by a special link with Gautam Gambhir. He trains under Gambhir's former coach Sanjay Bhardwaj, who has groomed many stars. Not only this, he has already proved himself by scoring the most runs for Delhi in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024-25.
