On Saturday, Priyansh opened Delhi’s Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy campaign on November 23 with a 43-ball 102 against Uttar Pradesh at the Wankhede Stadium. Priyansh’s knock was laced with 10 sixes and five fours against an attack that comprised the likes of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Shivam Mavi, and Piyush Chawla.
Representing South Delhi Superstarz, Arya smacked six sixes in an over during a match against North Delhi Strikers in the Delhi Premier League 2024 as his team eventually made a record score of 308/5 in 20 overs.
Arya was also Delhi’s highest run-getter in the 2023-24 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy last year, aggregating 222 runs in seven innings at a 166.91 strike rate. While he was part of the IPL auction, Arya did not find any takers then.
