Priyansh Arya has a strike rate of 135.11 in List A cricket and 176.78 in T20s. In just four first-class matches, he has already shown promise, scoring a stunning 199. Priyansh, who plays for Punjab Kings, had the third-best strike rate in the 2026 Indian Premier League (IPL). He scored at a strike rate of 211.62. You just have to keep pushing the door until it breaks,” Arya told reporters on being overlooked for the Emerging Teams Asia Cup, to be held in Muscat from October 18-27. The Delhi batter, who scored a fine half-century in the innings, could prove to be a key player against Services on Day 4 of their ongoing Ranji Trophy match at the Air Force Complex Ground in Palam. “I didn’t even know that I had scored 199! It’s quite rare to score 199,” recollected Arya.
NEW DELHI: Priyansh Arya can hit sixes at will. With his brutal strokeplay, the Delhi batter can be as devastating as the best in the game and walk into any white-ball set-up. But he is also competing for a place in a generation that includes Abhishek Sharma, one of the world’s best T20I batters, and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, a bona fide superstar in the making. The Delhi batter, who has been a regular for India A in white-ball cricket recently, has missed out on selection for the Tilak Varma-led squad for the upcoming Emerging Teams Asia Cup. India’s openers will be Abhishek and Sooryavanshi, and Arya can consider himself unlucky. He was behind only Sooryavanshi and Finn Allen, while Abhishek Sharma was fourth. I was a little sad when I walked off the pitch, but it was part of the game. “When we talk, it’s not like we’re playing a match just for three points. We always talk about going for an outright win. That is a good thing for both the team and individual growth.”
