Who is Priyansh Arya :Priyansh Arya is the fastest uncapped player to score a century in IPL history. Apart from this, it is jointly the fourth fastest century in IPL. Priyansh Arya was bought by Punjab Kings for 3.8 crores in the IPL auction, during that time everyone's eyes were on this player.

Made headlines by hitting six sixes in an over

There was a competition between Delhi Capitals, Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore to buy Priyansh Arya in the players' auction for IPL 2025. In the end, Punjab Kings won the bid. They spent Rs 3.80 crore for him.

Priyansh Arya first came into the limelight by hitting six sixes in an over. He hit six sixes in an over while playing for South Delhi Superstars in the inaugural season of the Delhi Premier League.

South Delhi Superstars scored 308 runs for 5 wickets in 20 overs against North Delhi Strikers. During this, Arya played an innings of 120 runs in 50 balls. This was the same match in which Priyansh hit six sixes in an over to spinner Manan Bhardwaj. All the sixes of Arya came on the front side. Priyansh Arya scored 608 runs in 10 innings in the Delhi League at an average of 67.56 and a strike rate of 198.69. He hit 43 sixes in this entire league.

Connection with Gautam Gambhir

According to ESPNcricinfo report, Arya's parents are teachers in a government school in Delhi and he has trained under Gautam Gambhir's former coach Sanjay Bhardwaj. Arya enrolled himself in this academy at the age of 9-10 years.

"I have spent hours watching players like Gautam Gambhir, Nitish Rana and Unmukt Chand train," Arya said, according to the report. "Sir would ask us to watch them from behind the nets. It was thrilling for us to see them all play from close quarters."

Starting the innings with Jaiswal

If luck had favoured Priyansh Arya, this batsman would have been seen opening with Yashasvi Jaiswal in the 2020 Under-19 World Cup. But due to a rule of BCCI, he was declared ineligible.

According to the report, Arya said about his ouster from the Under-19 World Cup, "When a selector (Amit Bhandari, former India fast bowler) asked me if I was in the Under-16, I told him that I was not eligible and was competing for the Under-19. I had scored runs in the Under-19 trial games, so I was confident."

Arya further said, "At that time, I was not aware of a rule that if you have not cleared the age test in Under-16, you will be eligible to play Under-19 only for two years. By the time I was 17, I had played Under-19."

That decision ruled Arya out of the Under-19 World Cup. It took him three more years to break into Delhi's senior team and his career did not take off until 2024-25.

Hit a century before IPL auction

Arya created a sensation by scoring a century before the IPL auction. He scored a century against legendary bowlers like Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Piyush Chawla in the 2024-25 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. This century came just before the auction. Arya was Delhi's highest run-scorer in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, scoring 325 runs in nine innings at a strike rate of 176.63.

Created a stir in IPL

Priyansh Arya is now making a splash in IPL 2025. Punjab started the IPL 2025 season against Gujarat and this batsman scored 47 runs in this match. Priyansh flopped in his two matches, where he scored 8 and zero runs. But he made a strong comeback by scoring a century against Chennai. Arya played an innings of 103 runs in 42 balls with the help of 7 fours and 9 sixes.
