Priyansh Arya hits 39 Boultons
The young opening batsman saw his offensive vest and took the CSK bowler from ball 1 to the cleaner. The wicket regularly fell around him, but he didn’t stop and continued to play the offensive brand of cricket.
Arya completed a half-century with 19 balls and accelerated further to reach a triple-digit milestone with just 39 balls. He completed the century by crushing Matheesha Pathirana for boundaries in the fifth ball on the 13th.
Pathirana bowled the middle and leg full balls to Priyansh Aria. He then took off his helmet, raised his arms, and soaked all the applause.
His teammates from the dugout looked overjoyed, but Zinta, the team’s co-owner, happily jumped out of his seat to praise the younger batsman.

I’m not expressive, but I get a very good feeling from within – Priyansh Arya
Speaking mid-innings, Priyansh Aliya said he felt very good after slapsing Ton and revealed advice from Shreiyas Ayer that helped him a lot. He said:
“I’m not expressive, but I get a very good feeling from within. In the final game, Shreyas Ayer spoke about supporting your instincts. He suggested playing the way I wanted. I thought if I got the first ball in the slot, I would definitely hit it with six people.
When asked whether the Indian Premier League was easy or if it was in the Delhi Premier League, he responded by naming the DPL. Arya further said the pitch provided a lot of support to the batter. He said:
“(Is the Indian Premier League easy or the Delhi Premier League?) DPL! The ball is coming to the bat well. The ball isn’t spinning much.
