Uncapped sensation Priyansh Arya delivered a breathtaking display of power-hitting, blasting a 39-ball century to steer Punjab Kings to a thrilling 18-run win over Chennai Super Kings in New Chandigarh on Tuesday. Renowned for his big-hitting ability, the 24-year-old launched a relentless assault on the CSK bowlers, hammering nine towering sixes during his explosive innings.

Arya`s knock of 103 off just 42 balls equalled the fourth-fastest century in IPL history, rescuing Punjab from a precarious 83 for 5 and propelling them to a formidable total of 219 for 6. Impressed by Arya’s fearless strokeplay, Punjab skipper Shreyas Iyer lauded the youngster`s approach, saying he wants his team to embrace a similar brand of aggressive and fearless cricket.
