In a match that had all the drama, flair, and fireworks of classic IPL cricket, Punjab Kings (PBKS) broke their losing streak in style, defeating Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by 18 runs—thanks to a breathtaking century by their young opener, Priyansh Arya.
When PBKS lost half their side for just 83 runs inside 8 overs, it looked like yet another collapse was on the cards. But 24-year-old Priyansh Arya, playing with a calm head and fiery bat, turned the match on its head.
He smashed a 103 off just 42 balls, laced with 7 boundaries and 9 towering sixes, recording the second-fastest IPL century by an Indian and the fastest ever by an uncapped player. His explosive innings not only rescued PBKS but catapulted them to a formidable total of 219/6.
CSK began their chase with intent, reaching 59 without loss in the powerplay. Devon Conway anchored the innings with a fluent 69, while MS Dhoni gave fans hope with a trademark late flourish. However, regular wickets and tight death bowling from PBKS restricted CSK to 201/5, falling short by 18 runs.
