This is an early stage in the 18th season of the Indian Premier League, but a strong initial trend that has come out is how unaccounted Indian players have felt their presence. One of the people who have caught the eye, Punjab Kings Priyash Arya. The 24 -year -old Delhi man came for special praise from PBKS head coach Ricky Ponting after a winning 11 runs in a high scoring competition in Ahmedabad against Gujarat Titans on Tuesday.
Ponting said in his dressing room debrife speech, “I think we set a tone with a person playing in our first IPL game … Priyash, the way he started today.” Priyash scored 23-goals with seven fours (the most at night) and two sixes, while strike in his start against the star-staded bowling lineup. In fact, Ponting recognized Priyash as a player, who was to look out before bowling a ball in the tournament. The former Australian captain said at an event led by the IPL, “He is a very special potential inauguration batsman for us in the tournament.” So R Ashwin said on his YouTube channel, “He is my number 1 player, the way he batted in Syed Mushtaq Ali ..”.
Certainly, he was immediately given a beginning when Punjab Kings had the option to go with someone like Josh Iglis, in-form Australian keeper-boy with more experience at this level. Despite playing less than 20 T20 matches in his career, Priyash was recognized as a person who was as a partner of Prabasimran Singh and the left -handed batsman left his mark at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
Dr. Sanjay Bhardwaj, who is a coach in the LB Shastri Cricket School in Delhi, from where Gautam Gambhir, Amit Mishra’s choice was a nervous. “When your child makes his debut on such a stage after working hard for more than a decade, it is like seeing him walking on a tight rope. You are worried, as a coach and a parent, what happens if he falls? It is an an request to wish to attack cricket from the moment when he picked up the game, growing with IPL.
Priyanash shot a six in a six in an over in the domestic T20 league of Delhi in August 2024 and also conducted a Vipul Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy for Delhi, with a top score of 9 matches with 325 runs in 9 matches at a strike rate of 176.63.
“He has been practicing like this since childhood. A player who holds an attacker approach, and really with his mind and heart, will give you 100% results. Priyanash has started this habit since, which he started,” Bhardwaj, who was 7 years old, who was 7 years old, was particularly happy to see Priyash, a two -year grand textbook shots. First, a direct drive from Arshad Khan and then a panoramic cover drive from Kagiso Rabada. “Glorious,” Ravi Shastri’s growing voice came on the air first. “Oh, he has played some spanking shots,” he added to the shot he played with superstar South African Paper.
This is something when Priyash has selected Punjab for Rs 3.8 crore in auction by Punjab. “If you can attack pacers quickly, it is a big property in the IPL as a opener. They worked hard on the cut and bridge, they always had a good vertical drive. They have two shots with two shots … When you can play, the level of confidence increases. He has now increased in his natural game.

The Priyash Resort has not been seen to raise slogans to adopt this Uber-Hamle’s approach; He still looked at technically to play the correct shot, as he took Sirj off his second ball from his pad for a loft. He also had fate towards him, soon fell as he missed an on-the-raise drive from Rabada, but continued to go for his shots. Shashank Singh, who had also played a magnificent hand under the order, said that Priyash showed the world what the franchise was looking behind the curtain. Shashank said in the press conference, “He has really impressed everyone in training sessions. He is very fearless. It is very difficult for a first film. But the way he batted, he showed his talent. He knows his game very well and is very correct,” Shashank said in the press conference.
Bhardwaj does not doubt that the priests will remain ground. “His talent, his discipline towards training, his fearlessness, and creation of nature … he is a son of two teachers, so he is naturally disciplined. He can go a long way. But he will have to forget about the previous match and think about every match. It is not easy to be an unaccounted player in the league.”
