Tue Nov 26 15:36:25 UTC 2024: ## Punjab Kings Snag Rising Star Priyansh Arya for ₹3.8 Crore at IPL 2025 Auction
**Jeddah, Saudi Arabia –** The Punjab Kings made a significant splash at the IPL 2025 mega auction on Monday, securing the services of explosive left-handed batsman Priyansh Arya for a whopping ₹3.8 crore. Arya, whose base price was ₹30 lakh, saw his value skyrocket after a series of impressive performances in recent domestic tournaments.
Arya first caught the eye in the Delhi Premier League earlier this year, hitting six consecutive sixes in a single over. This remarkable feat was part of a stunning 120-run innings (10 sixes, 10 fours) that propelled his team to a massive total. He also emerged as Delhi’s top run-scorer in the 2023-24 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, accumulating 222 runs in seven innings. While he went unsold at the IPL 2024 auction, his recent form, including a century last week, convinced the Punjab Kings to invest heavily in his potential. The franchise will be hoping Arya’s explosive batting style will be a key component of their 2025 campaign.
