Punjab Kings Star Priyansh Arya Scripts History, Becomes First T20 Batter To...
After a string of low scores, batter Priyansh Arya returned to form with a blistering century for the Outer Delhi Warriors against East Delhi Riders in the ongoing Delhi Premier League. PLaying at the iconic Arun Jaitely Stadium in Delh, Priyansh played a brilliant knock of 111 off 56 balls and helped the Warriors reach 231/7 in 20 overs. The 24-year-old batter, who represented Punjab Kings in IPL 2025, had an amazing DPL 2024 season where he scored 608 runs in 10 innings. Despite having a slow start to the 2025 season, Priyansh made a solid comeback with a century and also registered a historic feat. With this ton, he became the first batter to score more than one century in DPL. In IPL 2025, Priyansh truly lived up to the expectations of his fans as he scored 475 runs in 17 innings at a blistering strike rate of 179.25. His tally also included one century, which came against Chennai Super Kings. Talking about the DPL match, it was raining runs at the Arun Jaitley Stadium as East Delhi Riders pulled off a historic chase to register a thrilling 5-wicket victory over Outer Delhi Warriors. Chasing a towering target of 232, the Riders reached the finish line with four balls to spare, pulling off the highest successful chase in DPL history. Earlier in the day, Outer Delhi Warriors made a statement with the bat, riding on a sensational century from opener Priyansh Arya, who smashed 111 off 56 balls. His innings was laced with 7 fours and 9 sixes, and provided the perfect platform for a massive total. He was well supported by Karan Garg, who chipped in with a fluent 43 off 24 balls, helping their side post a daunting 231/7 in 20 overs. In reply, East Delhi Riders had a shaky start and were reduced to 51/3, but the match turned on its head when Arpit Rana and captain Anuj Rawat came together. The duo stitched a remarkable 130-run stand for the fourth wicket, keeping the chase alive with aggressive strokeplay and composure under pressure. Arpit Rana played a vital knock, scoring 79 off 45 balls with 8 boundaries and 4 sixes, while skipper Anuj Rawat led from the front with a blazing 84 off just 35 deliveries, hammering 2 fours and 9 sixes to put the finishing touches on a remarkable win.

IPL has brought more maturity to my game: Priyansh
There was no bigger advertisement for the Delhi Premier League (DPL) in its inaugural season than Priyansh Arya's soaring success. The opening batter's 608 runs in 10 innings for South Delhi Superstarz, including six sixes in an over, acted as the springboard for Punjab Kings to shell out ₹3.8 crore in the IPL auction for his services. The 23-year-old southpaw delivered a high return on investment in his maiden IPL season, scoring 475 runs in Punjab's runner-up finish. Having done all that, it is only natural that Priyansh's return for the second season of the DPL, which gets underway on August 2, will garner a lot more eyeballs. He will feature for Outer Delhi Warriors, one of two new franchises in this year's DPL. Asked whether there is greater pressure to perform this season, Priyansh was just as uncluttered with his response as he is with the bat in hand. 'The pressure is as much as I want to take on myself. If you can keep things simple, it will be beneficial,' Priyansh told The Hindu on Wednesday. While Priyansh's ability to back his naturally attacking instinct is one of his strengths, he believes there is more to his batting now than just aggression. 'You have to play according to the situation. I have learnt that from the IPL,' he said. 'You can't keep hitting, you have to play as per the match circumstances. There is more maturity in my game now because of the IPL.' Parthiv roped in as mentor Outer Delhi Warriors has roped in former India wicketkeeper-batter Parthiv Patel as mentor. The 40-year-old, who retired from all formats in 2020, also serves as assistant coach for Gujarat Titans in the IPL.

Speaking about his maiden DPL season last year with South Delhi Superstarz and the tournament as a whole, Priyansh told ANI, 'This has been a very good journey for me and it will be a very good journey for the youngsters who are coming this time because DPL is a platform where one can show their skills and the whole of India can see that because when it comes on TV, this is a very good platform.'

We could not do it this time, but would try to win it next year.' In 17 matches during his IPL debut, he scored 475 runs at an average of 27.94 with a strike rate of 179.24. He scored a century and two fifties and had the best score of 103. He was the third-highest run-getter for PBKS, and his partnership with Prabhsimran Singh, another uncapped Indian, broke several records and garnered acclaim. Arya, who came into the limelight in the DPL last year, was picked up by Punjab Kings (PBKS) for Rs 3.8 crore in the mega auctions last year. Entering at Rs 30 lakh, he attracted bids from Delhi Capitals and RCB before being picked by PBKS. In the DPL season one, he smashed six sixes in an over during a match and scored 306 runs in 10 matches with two centuries and four fifties, striking at almost 199. Speaking about a potential Indian selection, Arya said that it is not in his hands, but rather in the selectors'. 'So I am concentrating on DPL season two,' he added. Arya had extremely positive memories of his first IPL season, saying that it gave him 'maturity'. 'By working with a coach like Ricky Ponting, captain Shreyas Iyer and senior batter Shashank Singh, my maturity level got higher,' he concluded. (ANI)

Punjab Kings' batter Priyansh Arya scripts massive milestone in IPL 2025 final
Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], June 3 (ANI): Punjab Kings' young sensation Priyansh Arya shattered Devdutt Padikkal's record for the most runs by an uncapped Indian batter in a debut Indian Premier League (IPL) season. Priyansh came out to open for Punjab in the final of the 18th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the world's largest cricket stadium, the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. In pursuit of Bengaluru's daunting 191-run target, Priyansh provided a quick-fire start and struck 24 from 19 deliveries, laced with four boundaries. He finished the season with a tally of 475 runs from 17 appearances at 27.94. The 24-year-old surpassed Padikkal's tally of 473 for most runs by an uncapped Indian batter in the debut IPL season. It took a stunner from Phil Salt at the edge of the boundary rope off Josh Hazlewood on the final delivery of the fifth over. He tried to flick the ball away for a maximum, but his attempt was intercepted by the English top-order batter. Salt released the ball in the air before crossing the boundary rope and then returned to the field to complete the catch. Even though Priyansh provided the required tempo, Punjab failed to gun down Bengaluru's competitive total. Throughout the chase, Punjab kept itself in the affair but kept losing wickets at regular intervals, which hurt their chances of lifting their maiden title. At the end, PBKS fell six runs short, which ensured that the wait for the title continued for Punjab, who reached their first final in 11 years under the exceptional leadership of Shreyas Iyer and head coach Ricky Ponting. While it was agony for Punjab, skipper Rajat Patidar steered RCB to its first trophy in 18 years. With the end of adding the coveted IPL title to RCB's trophy cabinet, the special moment was met by tears in Virat Kohli's eyes. (ANI)
