In an electrifying display of power hitting, 23-year-old Priyansh Arya, an opener for the South Delhi Superstars, has made history in the Delhi Premier League 2024 by hitting six sixes in a single over. This remarkable feat took place during the 23rd match of the tournament, played between South Delhi Superstars and North Delhi, held at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Priyansh’s sensational performance has drawn comparisons to the legendary Yuvraj Singh, who famously hit six sixes in an over against England in the 2007 T20 World Cup.
Explosive Batting in the Delhi Premier League
The match witnessed some extraordinary batting from South Delhi Superstars, who piled up a massive total, crossing the 300-run mark, a rarity in T20 cricket. Batting first, the Superstars showcased their dominance with the bat, hitting sixes all around the park. Priyansh Arya, in particular, stole the show with his fearless approach and aggressive stroke play.
The Over That Changed the Game
The historic moment came during the 12th over of the innings, bowled by North Delhi’s Manan Bhardwaj. Priyansh, already in fine form, launched a relentless attack, sending every ball of the over sailing over the boundary ropes for six. This incredible feat not only made him the first batsman in the Delhi Premier League to achieve this milestone but also put him in an elite group of cricketers worldwide who have hit six sixes in a single over.
Consistent Performances Throughout the League
Priyansh Arya has been in sensational form throughout the Delhi Premier League. This was his second century in the tournament, having earlier scored a hundred against the Old Delhi team in the 15th match. In that game, he played an unbeaten knock of 107 runs off 55 balls, hitting nine fours and seven sixes. Priyansh’s explosive batting has been a key factor in his team’s success, making him one of the standout performers of the league.
A Powerful Partnership with Ayush Badoni
In the match against North Delhi, Priyansh Arya formed a formidable partnership with captain Ayush Badoni, adding 286 runs for the second wicket. This partnership is now the highest in the history of the Delhi Premier League. Priyansh’s innings of 120 runs came off just 50 balls, including 10 fours and 10 sixes, with a strike rate of 240. His partnership with Badoni, who also played a remarkable innings of 165 runs, laid the foundation for South Delhi’s record-breaking total of 308 runs.
