Priyansh Arya has been earmarked for great days ahead and a possible place in the India team after the six-hitting specialist's match-winning century for Punjab Kings in the Indian Premier League.
NEW DELHI:
The uncapped left-hander Arya pummelled nine sixes in a 39-ball hundred to set up Punjab's 18-run victory over Chennai Super Kings at New Chandigarh on Tuesday.
The 24-year-old Arya equalled the fourth fastest IPL century and though he fell soon after for 103 off 42 balls, he had rescued his team from 83-5 and they went on to amass 219-6.
West Indies great Chris Gayle holds the record fastest IPL century off just 30 balls for Royal Challengers Bengaluru in 2013.
Yusuf Pathan is second quickest at 37 balls followed by South Africa's David Miller on 38.
