From Local Hero to IPL Superstar

For those who have followed Delhi cricket closely, Priyansh’s heroics weren’t a total surprise. In the Delhi Premier League, he once smashed six sixes in a single over, announcing his arrival in dramatic fashion. That performance became the talk of the town and led to a fierce bidding war during the IPL 2025 Auction, with Punjab Kings eventually buying him for ₹3.8 crore. He entered IPL 2025 with big expectations on his shoulders — and he’s already delivering in grand style.

The Six-Sixes Moment That Changed Everything

Before the IPL auctions, Arya had already made waves in the Delhi Premier League by:

• Smashing six consecutive sixes in an over (vs Manan Bhardwaj)
• Scoring 120 off 50 balls in a 308-run team total
• Finishing the league with 608 runs at a strike rate of 198.69 (43 sixes!)

No wonder Punjab Kings fought a fierce bidding war (₹3.8 Crore!) against DC and RCB to sign him.
