IPL 2025: Priyansh Arya Slams Century for Punjab Kings vs CSK - List of Records Broken and Created by the Southpaw

Under the floodlights, on a night that begged for drama, Priyansh Arya delivered a blockbuster. The young southpaw from Delhi unleashed a batting masterclass against Chennai Super Kings, notching up a scintillating maiden IPL century.

Opening the innings for Punjab Kings, Arya didn’t tiptoe into the spotlight—he stormed into it. From the very first ball, the intent was loud and clear. A fierce boundary kickstarted the carnage, and what followed was a symphony of strokes—bold, fearless, and dripping with flair. The CSK bowlers, including veterans like Ravichandran Ashwin had no answers.

The moment came in a showdown against Ashwin, where Arya smashed 21 runs in an over, bringing up his fifty with a monster six that soared deep into the night sky. That fifty, off just 19 balls, tied the record once held by KL Rahul against the same opposition back in 2019.

But Arya wasn’t done. Even as wickets tumbled at the other end, the 24-year-old kept swinging. With sheer audacity, he smashed three sixes and a four in a single over off Matheesha Pathirana to bring up his century in jaw-dropping style. The southpaw departed after scoring 103 runs off just 42 deliveries, leaving a mesmerizing mark for the spectators.
