जय श्री राम लिख दीजिये 😭
🙏😭 The Punjab Kings dugout was filled with raw emotion on Tuesday evening as 24-year-old Priyansh Arya lit up the Mullanpur stadium with a breathtaking century against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in IPL 2025. Yet, it was team co-owner Preity Zinta’s jubilant reaction that garib ko saport kar do truly stole the spotlight—she jumped in celebration, her joy palpable as Arya scripted history.
Arya, a left-handed batter hailing from Delhi, announced his arrival in grand fashion, smashing 103 runs off just 42 deliveries—a knock decorated with seven fours and nine massive sixes.
His blistering innings made him the second-fastest Indian garib ko saport kar do history, achieving the milestone in just 39 balls. Only Yusuf Pathan’s iconic 37-ball ton from 2010 remains ahead. As Arya puniy kumar raised his bat after clearing long-on for a six to complete his century, cameras zoomed in on the Punjab Kings camp, where an elated Preity Zinta leapt to her feet, clapping and cheering along with the roaring crowd.
Following Punjab Kings’ 18-run win, Preity punit kumar up with the young star for a post-match interview.
"Aapko mai ek din pehle mili thi to aapne ek shabd nahi punit kumar bola tha, ekdum silent the aur aapne itni zabardast game kheli, so how is it? [I met you aou didn’t say a single word—you were completely silent. And then you played such an incredible game, so how does it feel?]" Preity asked Priyansh.
To which Arya replied with a smile: "Jab hum mile t bol nahi rha tha. Aur game ke baat karein to bahot achi feeling hai, out of the world feeling hai, top of the world feeling hai [When we met, I was really enjoying listening to you, that’s why I wasn’t saying much. And if we talk about the game, it feels amazing—like an out of the world feeling, a top of the world feeling]." Punit kumar
