Punjab Kings (PBKS) opener Priyansh Arya played a match-winning knock of 62 runs off 35 balls, including nine boundaries and two sixes, against the Mumbai Indians (MI) in Match 69 of the IPL 2025 (Indian Premier League). Notably, Punjab won the game by seven wickets and are now the table toppers. This performance impressed fans and former cricketers alike.

Former India cricketer Robin Uthappa spoke about the batter and called him a ‘young talent’. Arya has had an incredible season so far, scoring 424 runs in 14 matches at an average of 30.04. Despite a slow start to the season, he picked up really well and has been a consistent performer since then.

Speaking about the youngster, Uthappa mentioned that his temperament for big games is something that sets him apart from other players. Priyansh Arya has been performing brilliantly in high-stakes matches, which has helped PBKS qualify for the playoffs.

“He’s been scintillating this season, a real revelation alongside several other young talents. But when you talk about standout youngsters, his name comes up right away. To deliver such a performance in a high-stakes match, one that determined qualifier positioning, shows he has the temperament for big games. He communicated well with Josh Inglis, rotated the strike efficiently, ran hard between the wickets, and played to his strengths,” Uthappa said on JioStar.

I personally feel everyone stepped up at the right time: Iyer

The Punjab Kings captain, Shreyas Iyer, was seemingly happy with the performances of his team as they stepped up at the right time to help win the match. Now that the team has finished in top position, they will have two opportunities to qualify for the playoffs. Iyer has been in incredible form this season, leading from the front.

“I personally feel everyone stepped up at the right time. We have been in that mindset that we have to win no matter what the situation. Kudos to everyone and the management. Ricky has been fantastic, and for me it was about gaining the trust of every individual. And that happened by winning matches, and I personally feel we need to maintain that relationship throughout,” Iyer stated.
