🔥 Priyansh Arya century alert, and what a way to announce yourself on the IPL stage!
On a Tuesday night in Mullanpur, Priyansh Arya century left fans—and CSK’s bowlers—completely stunned. The 24-year-old smashed a fiery 103 off just 42 balls for Punjab Kings in IPL 2025, hitting 7 fours and 9 sixes with a jaw-dropping strike rate of 245+. Cricket lovers across India couldn’t believe their eyes, and even Suryakumar Yadav shared his admiration on Instagram: “Total entertainment!”
And the best part? This wasn’t just a century—it was the fastest ever by an uncapped player in IPL history and the fifth-fastest overall!
🌟 A Star is Born
According to PBKS assistant coach Brad Haddin, it took just eight deliveries in a practice match to confirm Priyansh’s place in the playing XI. Now that’s what you call impact.
Back in Delhi, his childhood coach Sanjay Bharadwaj (aka Guruji) couldn’t hide his pride. “He called me at 7:30 AM after sleeping at 3 AM,” the coach shared, laughing. “He told me, ‘Sir, I didn’t do anything… God did it.’” That humility combined with explosive talent? A dream combo.
Priyansh’s rise is meteoric—but make no mistake, this isn’t sudden. He’s been putting in the work since he was 10 at Bharadwaj’s academy. Range-hitting, pull shots, cuts—you name it, he’s been grinding for it.
With Shreyas Iyer and Ricky Ponting backing him fully at Punjab Kings, Priyansh revealed they’ve told him, “Trust your instincts. You don’t need coaching.” That confidence clearly paid off.
