New Delhi:
It is said that life gives you an opportunity. Amazing is in hitting the spot. And a 24 -year -old left -handed batsman of Punjab Kings, Prashant Arya, on Tuesday gave a similar six against Chennai Super Kings (PBKS vs CSK) in the IPL (IPL 2025). Prashant failed in the opening matches, but the management did not leave him. And on Tuesday, he played a stormy innings and hit a six -like six on the spot. That too off just 39 balls. And he became unaccounted players who scored the fastest century in IPL history
By the way, the story of Priyansh, who scored a century from 39 balls against Dhoni’s team, is no less than a Bollywood film. Had Kismet supported Priyansh Arya, the batsman would have been seen opening with Yashaswi Jaiswal in the 2020 Under-19 World Cup, but he was disqualified due to a BCCI rule.
After crossing the threshold of 20 of life, Priyansh knew that he did not have much time. Even after going to the training camp of different IPL teams, only frustrations felt. But it is said that good luck does not sleep every day! Something similar happened with Priyansh, a resident of Ashok Nagar, Delhi. In the year 2024, Delhi’s Local League ‘Delhi Premier League’ was organized. This was the opportunity to draw the attention of the whole world. And how to draw attention? Priyansh hit six sixes in an over.
Priyansh’s performance in the entire league was excellent. The IPL teams who had returned home from the training camp, were vied to include Priyansh in the same teams on the day of the auction. In the bidding war between Bangalore, Delhi and Punjab, it was decided that Priyansh would play for Punjab.
Australian giant batsman and Punjab Kings coach Ricky Ponting does not get tired of praising Priyansh. In his first season, he showed a record century and showed that he was being expressed so much confidence in him. IPL brings the glow of a new star every season. This time the stars are Priyansh Arya. It will be interesting to see what act this player will show in the remaining matches in the tournament.
