**Mohali, Punjab –** Priyansh Arya of the Punjab Kings has etched his name in IPL history, smashing the fastest century ever scored by an uncapped player in the tournament. The 23-year-old left-handed batsman achieved the feat against the Chennai Super Kings at the Maharaja Yadavendra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, achieving the milestone in a mere 39 balls.
Arya’s electrifying innings is the second-fastest century by an Indian in IPL history, just behind Yusuf Pathan’s 37-ball century in 2010. It’s also the fastest century ever scored against the Chennai Super Kings. This remarkable achievement makes Arya the eighth uncapped player and seventh Indian to score an IPL century.
His meteoric rise began in the Delhi Premier League, where he captivated audiences with a six-six-six-six over and dominated the tournament with over 600 runs in just 10 matches. This impressive performance led to a bidding war at the IPL auction, with the Punjab Kings securing his services for ₹3.8 crore, outbidding several other franchises.
Despite having only played 11 T20 matches before this innings and making his IPL debut this season against the Gujarat Titans, Arya’s performance showcases his exceptional talent and underlines his bright future in the sport.
