Priyansh Arya scored a memorable century for Punjab Kings against Chennai Super Kings on Tuesday.
The prophecy of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin regarding Punjab Kings (PBKS) youngster Priyansh Arya came true after the latter’s maiden IPL century on Tuesday. Priyansh Arya scored an entertaining 39-ball century against Chennai Super Kings during an IPL 2025 match on Tuesday.
Ashwin, during one of his shows on YouTube prior to IPL 2025, had predicted big things in store for Priyansh Arya. “My number one player is the one someone should take for sure. He played very well with the bat in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. I am talking about Priyansh Arya. The Delhi opener was a left-handed batter. Did you see his batting?,” Ashwin asked in the video.
Punjab Kings posted a screenshot of Ashwin’s quotes on their “X” handle on Tuesday, following the 24-year-old’s century. “We agree with you, Ash Anna,” Punjab Kings captioned the post.
