INDIAN PREMIER LEAGUE
The New Indian Express Thrissur
|March 26, 2025
In an era of power-hitting, uncapped domestic players have already displayed their muscle over the first four days
WHEN Priyansh Arya walked out to bat for Punjab Kings against Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad on Tuesday, he knew what he was supposed to do. Smash the sheen off the white leather right through the powerplay.
In fact, that is what Arya is known for. Be it the Delhi Premier League where he hit six sixes in an over for South Delhi Superstarz against North Delhi Strikers. Or when he went berserk, hitting ten maximums on his way to a 43-ball 102 during the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy clash between Delhi and Uttar Pradesh. Hitting big sixes and ruining a bowler's day is his MO. He did that two years ago during the 2023-24 SMAT season, but last year, Arya upgraded his arsenal. He made sure he wasn't playing cameos but cleaning out bowlers for sustained periods of time. This ability is what fetched him ₹3.8 crore at the mega auction.
