IPL 2025: Priyansh Arya's blazing ton rocks CSK as Dhoni creates history

What a night in the IPL! Uncapped sensation Priyansh Arya lit up the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Stadium with a jaw-dropping century, powering Punjab Kings (PBKS) to a massive 219/6 against Chennai Super Kings (CSK).

In just his debut season, the 24-year-old Arya turned heads with a 103-run knock off just 42 balls, becoming the fastest uncapped player to score a century in IPL history — and he did it in style, despite being dropped in the very first over!

PBKS were struggling at 83/5, but Arya’s fireworks, coupled with a steady half-century by Shashank Singh, sparked a stunning turnaround. The duo took the team past the 200-mark, setting the highest-ever total recorded in Mullanpur.

While Priyansh owned the spotlight with the bat, veteran legend MS Dhoni made history behind the stumps. The CSK skipper became the first wicketkeeper to complete 150 catches in IPL history, adding yet another milestone to his iconic career.

As CSK took up the chase, openers Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway gave the team a solid start, reaching 62/1 in 7 overs. With a mammoth target of 220 runs, the pressure is on CSK to script a record chase.

Can the men in yellow pull off a miracle? Or will Priyansh Arya’s magical night become the headline of IPL 2025?
