Eventually, the left-handed batsman got out for 103 runs off 42 balls, smashing at a strike rate of 245.24. The PBKS opener smashed nine sixes and seven fours during his knock.

After Arya slammed a century in the match, he became a trending topic on micro-blogging site X (formerly Twitter). Many fans hailed the young batter with numerous tweets on X. Have a look at some of the tweets below.

Meanwhile, PBKS finished at 219/6 at the end of 20 overs. Except for the centurion Priyansh Arya, who scored 103, no other batsmen from the top six managed to reach double digits for the hosts. Late bloom from Shashank Singh (52 off 36) and Marco Jansen (34 off 19) helped PBKS post a huge total of 219/6 on the board.

Given that CSK haven’t chased 175+ runs target in years, PBKS would be eying for their fourth win of the season with the target they’ve set.
