A heartwarming post-match clip featuring Punjab Kings co-owner Preity Zinta and the team’s rising star Priyansh Arya has taken social media by storm. Captured shortly after PBKS’s thrilling victory over Chennai Super Kings, the video showcases Zinta’s exuberant celebration as Arya notched up an unforgettable century, encapsulating the emotion and energy of a remarkable IPL night.
At just 24 years old, Arya stunned the Mullanpur crowd with a blistering 103 runs off 42 deliveries, smashing seven boundaries and nine towering sixes. His fearless approach not only dismantled the CSK bowling attack but also etched his name into the IPL record books as the second-fastest Indian to score a hundred in the tournament’s history, reaching the milestone in just 39 balls.
Preity Zinta, known for her passion and exuberance, was seen leaping from her seat in pure joy as Arya crossed the century mark with a thunderous six over long-on. In a touching moment by the boundary line, she greeted the young Delhi batter with a warm smile and enthusiastic applause, visibly proud of her team’s new hero.
Arya’s rise has been meteoric. After making waves in the Delhi Premier League, where he famously hit six sixes in an over, and topping Delhi’s run charts in the 2024-25 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, PBKS picked him up for a whopping Rs 3.8 crore. Tuesday night’s innings proved exactly why.
With Arya joining the elite club of uncapped IPL centurions and Zinta’s viral celebration capturing hearts, this wasn’t just a win — it was the birth of a new star in red. Punjab Kings defeated CSK by 18 runs, marking a significant moment in the IPL 2025 season.
