Former India cricketer Ajay Jadeja showered praises on Punjab Kings’ young opener Priyansh Arya for his impressive outing against Kolkata Knight Rider’s in a rain-affected match in the IPL 2025 at the Eden Gardens. 

In his debut IPL season, 24-year-old Arya is scoring consistently at the top of the order for PBKS and became the tenth batter to pass 300 runs this season; his 69 in 35 balls took his runs tally to 323 from nine innings. That put him at No. 9, ahead of Delhi Capitals’ KL Rahul, who also has the same number of runs but his inferior strike rate makes him No. 10.
