South Delhi Superstarz opener Priyansh Arya is eager for more centuries after hitting the first hundred of the inaugural Delhi Premier League.
The talented young batsman has captivated many with his performance, amassing an unbeaten 107 runs off just 55 balls to lead his team to a commanding 88-run victory over Purani Dilli 6.
Priyansh Arya is currently the top run-scorer in the league, amassing 344 runs in five innings. His impressive average of 86.00 and extraordinary strike rate of 177.32 put him well ahead of the competition, with a 100-run lead over second-place Ayush Badoni, who has scored 244 runs.
“Feels really good because the first player who scores a century in a new league is remembered forever, I am thinking of making more centuries,” Priyansh Arya shared with reporters after the DPL match on Monday.
“In the beginning, it felt difficult, the more I stayed at the crease the more I could contribute to myself and the team, I was just thinking to play all 20 overs,” he observed.
Arya said: “I was thinking I should play all 20 overs I was getting out earlier in previous matches, I wanted to carry the team with my strength.”
Arya added: “I have had one coach since childhood, Sanjay Bhardwaj sir, he talks to me every day as to how to play my game and go about my routine.”
The pull shot is one of his favorites.
“Pull shot and over the covers are my favourite shots. Our plan was to take wickets as we knew they were on the back foot,” Arya added.
