Punjab Kings secured an 18-run victory over Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2025, powered by a sensational maiden century from rookie opener Priyansh Arya on Tuesday. The 24-year-old left-hander from Delhi, who first grabbed headlines after smashing six sixes in an over in a local league, announced himself on the big stage with a stunning display of power-hitting.
This is Punjab Kings' third win of the season and first at home. Meanwhile, Ruturaj Gaikwad-led Chennai Super Kings suffered their fourth consecutive defeat. With SRH, CSK, and MI struggling, the trio now find themselves languishing at the bottom of the IPL 2025 points table.
