Priyansh Arya missed Yusuf Pathan’s record for fastest IPL hundred by just two balls as the Punjab Kings batter slammed his maiden century in the cash-rich league against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Tuesday. The all-rounder from Delhi slammed 103 runs from 42 balls, which included seven fours and nine sixes.
A product of Delhi Premier League (DPL), the left-handed opener kept going bonkers at one end even when his teammates lost their wickets at the other end. Smashing the first ball of the match for a six, Priyansh Arya raced to a 19-ball fifty before completing his century on 39 balls.
Yusuf Pathan leads the list of Indian players for fastest IPL hundred when the former India cricketer slammed a 37-ball hundred against Mumbai Indians in 2010. Yusuf was playing for Rajasthan Royals then.
He also became the eighth uncapped player to smash an IPL hundred.
