Priyansh Arya’s Blazing IPL Ton Leaves Fans and Preity Zinta in Awe
You know those moments in cricket where everything just clicks, and the world takes notice? Yeah, that was yesterday for Priyansh Arya. The young gun from Punjab Kings absolutely stole the show in IPL 2025, smashing a jaw-dropping century off just 39 balls against the mighty Chennai Super Kings. I mean, this wasn’t just a knock—it was a statement. And you bet everyone noticed, especially team owner Preity Zinta, who couldn’t contain her excitement in the stands. Her reaction? Pure joy, pure emotion, and absolutely priceless.
Let’s talk about the innings first. Arya walked in with confidence, and from ball one, he meant business. In fact, he made history right from the get-go—hitting a six off the very first delivery of the match. That shot instantly placed him alongside elite names like Virat Kohli, Naman Ojha, and Phil Salt as only the fourth batter in IPL history to do that. But Arya wasn’t stopping there. Seven fours, nine massive sixes, and not even the chaos of wickets falling around him could rattle him. He played like he belonged on that stage, and trust me, by the end of his innings, nobody was doubting that anymore.

This knock was also the joint-second fastest century by an Indian in IPL history. Imagine that—Priyansh Arya, in just his breakout season, matching records that have taken veterans years to achieve. The Punjab Kings had just come off a heavy defeat against Rajasthan Royals, and many thought they’d carry that slump into this game. But Arya clearly had other plans.
Preity Zinta’s reaction really added to the magic of the moment. As Arya reached his fifty and then his ton, she was up on her feet, cheering, clapping, beaming with pride—it was the kind of pure, unscripted emotion that makes IPL so special. Social media, of course, blew up with clips of her celebration, and rightly so. It's not every day a franchise witnesses one of its young players make such an explosive mark on the game.
And here’s the cherry on top—this guy was bought for ₹3.8 crore in the IPL 2025 auction. At the time, some might’ve raised an eyebrow. But now? Every single penny looks justified. Arya has not just shown talent; he’s shown temperament, aggression, and a flair for the big stage. Punjab Kings might just have unearthed a long-term star.
So yeah, Priyansh Arya has arrived. And if this performance is anything to go by, we’re going to be hearing his name a lot more this season.
