Rising star of Delhi Priyansh Arya recently came into the news for his blitz at the Delhi Premier League as he scored six sixes in an over. Arya, who wears jersey No.18, called Virat Kohli his favourite player and also his idol. Kohli has always managed to inspire youngsters who aspire to become cricketers like him. Arya also shared about his admiration towards Kohli’s aggressive batting style and his desire to play for RCB in the IPL.

“Virat Kohli is my favourite, want to play for RCB. My favourite team is RCB, admire Virat Kohli a lot, I like his aggression. I also like to play aggressive cricket. He is my idol,” Priyansh told PTI.

The youngster also wanted to help RCB lift their 1st ever IPL title as well. However, Arya is currently the leading run-scorer with 602 runs across nine innings. He became the latest entrant in the 6 sixes in an over list while playing for South Delhi Superstarz against North Delhi Strikers as well. He took on left-arm spinner Manan Bharadwaj in the 12th over with huge sixes. He also smashed his 2nd century of the tournament as he scored 120 runs from 50 balls as well.

“I had this thing in mind that if a left-arm spinner comes on to bowl, I will attack him. After the fourth six, I started to believe that I can hit six sixes and will go for that. Ayush backed me and told me to go for the kill,” he revealed.

Meanwhile, the captain of Delhi Superstarz Ayush Badoni also smashed 165 off 55 balls and shared a record-breaking stand of 286 runs with Priyansh Arya. Their partnership helped the team post 308 runs on the board and in reply, North Delhi could only score 196 runs as well.

“Badoni’s quite relaxed and doesn’t talk much, just tells us to express ourselves. The team’s environment is calm, coaches talk about the positives rather than negatives. The mindset is to win the trophy,” he stated.
