The Punjab Kings (PBKS) splashed ₹3.80 crore to purchase Priyansh Arya on the IPL 2025 mega public sale.
One of the many aspiring cricketers from Delhi is now getting to enjoy the razzmatazz of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Yes, we are taking about Priyansh Arya, the new sensation of the IPL 2025. Taking the opening duties for the Punjab Kings (PBKS), Arya has now earned himself on a list that has just four players in IPL history!
After Shreyas Iyer won the toss and elected to bat first, Arya did something incredible. Khaleel Ahmed, the new ball bowler for CSK, gave ample width to Arya, who didn’t need any sighters to smash the ball out of the park. In doing so, Arya became only the fourth-ever player to smash a six off the very first ball of an IPL match.
Naman Ojha (vs KKR, 2009), Virat Kohli (vs RR, 2019), and Phil Salt (vs MI, 2024) were the first three ones. Arya, meanwhile, has become the first left-handed batter to complete the incredible feat.
