How Shreyas Iyer chat helped Priyansh Arya score 39-ball hundred vs CSK

Bollywood star Preity Zinta co-owned Punjab Kings on Tuesday returned to winning ways in IPL 2025 with an 18-run victory over Chennai Super Kings at the New PCA Stadium, New Chandigarh on Tueday. After electing to bat, the PBKS opener Priyansh Arya took the attack to CSK from the first ball.

While the wickets kept falling on the other end, the left-handed batter smashed 103 runs off 42 balls with 7 fours and 9 sixes in his innings. Captain Shreyas Iyer described Arya’s performance one of the best innings he has ever seen in IPL.

“The way Priyansh played was scintillating to watch. It was an out-of-the-world type of innings. When I spoke with him in the last game, he was a bit timid in his decision-making when he faced Jofra Afrcher. Today, he backed his instincts. He was free flowing, and that’s the mindset I want everyone to have in this team. Basically, it was one of the top knocks I have seen in the IPL,” Iyer said at the post-match presentation ceremony.
