April 8, 2025: Mullanpur:

Batting first after winning the toss, PBKS looked in trouble at 83/5, but Priyansh turned the game on its head with a stunning innings of 103 runs off just 42 balls. His ton — the fastest by an uncapped player in IPL history — came in just 39 balls, sending the Mullanpur crowd into a frenzy.

Priyansh was supported brilliantly by Shashank Singh, who scored a vital half-century, helping Punjab post a mammoth 219/6 — the highest-ever total at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur.
Among the milestones, MS Dhoni etched his name into the record books by becoming the first wicketkeeper in IPL history to complete 150 catches.
The match was filled with drama and big hits — especially in the second half of the PBKS innings, where dropped catches and missed chances from CSK added to their woes. Despite losing key wickets early, Punjab’s fearless approach paid off handsomely.
With a daunting target of 220 runs, CSK will need something truly special to chase down the total — especially considering they haven’t successfully chased a 180+ score in the IPL since 2019.
As fans now turn to see whether Ruturaj Gaikwad and the CSK batting lineup can pull off a miracle, this match has already delivered one unforgettable IPL moment — the rise of Priyansh Arya, a name now etched in the league’s history.
