South Delhi Superstarz opener Priyank Arya showed a impressive knock of 107 not out against Purani Dilli 6 on August 26. Arya became the first player to be the centurion of the Delhi Premier League (DPL) 2024. As Arya continues run-scoring spree in the tournament, he stated that he wanted to score the first century since Arya will be remembered forever.
“Feels really good because the first player who scores a century in a new league is remembered forever, I am thinking of making more centuries,” Arya told.
“In the beginning, it felt difficult, the more I stayed at the crease the more I could contribute to myself and the team, I was just thinking to play all 20 overs,” he added.
Arya was happy with the game he played with the bat. He hit nine fours and seven sixes in his time of 55-ball 107, and contributed in helping the South Delhi Superstarz post a massive total of 235/3.
“I was thinking I should play all 20 overs I was getting out earlier in previous matches, I wanted to carry the team with my strength,” he said.
Arya said he has been trained under the watch of Gautam Gambhir during his childhood Under-19 days along with Sanjay Bhardwaj, who calls him everyday to talk with him.
“I have had one coach since childhood, Sanjay Bhardwaj sir, he talks to me every day as to how to play my game and go about my routine,” he said.
