Priyansh Arya
Right-hand bat
Priyansh Arya, a batter, has played two IPL seasons, both with Punjab Kings.
The arrival
Priyansh Arya arrived through the auction: Punjab Kings paid ₹3.80 cr, against a base price of ₹30 lakh. That debut came after going unsold twice (2023 and 2024).
That first season brought 18 matches and 545 runs. It would stay the best season of the career with the bat.
The peak
The high point with the bat was 2025, for Punjab Kings: 545 runs at an average of 30.3, striking at 182.3 in a season when the league as a whole struck at 152.9, with 1 hundred and 3 fifties, and a highest score of 103.
Measured against the league around it, though, the most destructive season was 2026: 364 runs at a strike rate of 211.6, 55 runs per hundred balls quicker than the IPL as a whole that year.
One franchise
Priyansh Arya has spent the whole IPL career with Punjab Kings, from 2025 to 2026.
How the runs came
Across the career, Priyansh Arya has struck at 193.0. The league around those same seasons, weighted by how much batting each one involved, struck at 154.2, so Priyansh Arya has scored about 39 runs per hundred balls faster than the typical batter of the time. 80% of the runs came in fours and sixes: 87 fours and 63 sixes.
The fielding record: 10 catches.
At the auction

Seasons without an auction entry were played under a retention, a trade or a signing made outside the auction.
