Priyansh Arya smashes fastest-ever IPL Hundred against CSK

Priyansh Arya created history by smashing a century off just 39 balls.

Priyansh Arya smashed a century in just 39 balls in the 22nd match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. This is the fastest century in IPL history against Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Priyansh achieved this feat with 9 sixes and 7 fours. His impressive performance, including hitting six sixes in six balls in the Delhi Premier League, led Punjab Kings (PBKS) to include him in their team. Priyansh proved his mettle and displayed his prowess when his team needed him the most.

In the previous match, Punjab Kings had lost 5 wickets for only 83 runs, with even captain Shreyas Iyer, who had scored an unbeaten 97 in the first match, and four other batsmen failing to reach double figures. However, Priyansh single-handedly decimated the Chennai bowlers, scoring his century in just 39 balls. This is also the second-fastest century in Punjab Kings’ history. Previously, David Miller had achieved this feat in 38 balls in 2013.
