Vijay was really impressed with the batter’s composure and ability to strike against the spinners in the middle overs. In a video released by Star Sports, Murali Vijay said: "Priyansh Arya seems to be a very interesting personality with a brilliant sense of timing. He has all the ingredients to become a great player. The ability to strike against spinners between overs 7 to 15 is very important. It's the toughest phase to tackle in T20s, but Priyansh Arya does that well as a left-hander with the ability to access all areas. I believe he will play at several levels and has the ability to become an all-format player.” He further added: “His basics are so strong, and his balance is impeccable, which is why he is able to access both sides of the wicket. It helps him direct the good deliveries from bowlers to different parts of the ground. As he plays more matches, his flair and strengths will come out even more. It is important not to be harsh on such players.” Watch the video: Priyansh Arya grabbed the limelight for his blockbuster showdown in the Delhi Premier League (DPL). He was then bought by the Punjab Kings for INR 3.8 crores during the mega-auction ahead of IPL 2025. He showcased his batting prowess by collecting huge runs and making a standout pair with his partner, Prabhsimran Singh, during the IPL 2025. He etched his name into the history books after scoring the 5th fastest century of IPL, which came in 39 balls against the Chennai Super Kings. Overall, he has played 46 T20 games and has collected 1319 runs with two centuries and six half-centuries.
