Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket: Rarely in IPL history has a young batter's raw talent and fearless approach captivated the league. A notable instance of this happened at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, where Priyansh Arya smashed a 39-ball century - the fourth fastest in IPL’s history.

From the moment Arya upper-cut Khaleel Ahmed for a six on the first ball of the Punjab Kings’ innings, people in the stadium were unaware of the extraordinary performance that the young left-handed opener was about to deliver on Tuesday evening.

Even as he lost partners consistently from the other end, Arya’s aggressive batting on both sides of the wicket propelled him to a 42-ball 103 and secured PBKS’s first home victory of this season.
