The Punjab ings 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 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 to reach a century in IPL history, achieving the milestone in just 39 balls. Only Yusuf Pathan’s iconic 37-ball ton from 2010 remains ahead. As Arya 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 Zinta caught up with the young star for a post-match interview.
Arya’s innings wasn’t just another power-hitting show—it was the result of a rising journey that’s been turning heads for a while. He first made headlines in the Delhi Premier League, where he slammed six sixes in an over en route to a blazing 120-run knock.
That performance helped land him a ?3.8 crore IPL contract with Punjab Kings, a major leap from his base price of ?30 lakh.
Even before making his IPL debut, Arya was a standout performer in domestic cricket, having topped the run charts for Delhi in the 2024–25 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy
