In a remarkable display of power hitting, Priyansh Arya of South Delhi Superstarz etched his name into Delhi Premier League (DPL) history. During a high-stakes match against North Delhi Strikers at the iconic Arun Jaitley Stadium, Arya achieved a rare and thrilling feat: he smashed six consecutive sixes in a single over, taking a full 36 runs off Manan Bhardwaj’s bowling.
This incredible performance occurred in the 12th over of the innings and immediately drew comparisons to Yuvraj Singh’s iconic six sixes during the 2007 T20 World Cup. While the inaugural edition of the DPL has already delivered some standout moments, Arya’s explosive innings is undoubtedly one of the highlights.
His blistering knock of 88 runs from just 42 balls, featuring seven boundaries and six towering sixes, left spectators and commentators alike in awe. Arya’s aggressive and fearless batting not only entertained the crowd but also set the stage for his team’s dominance.
