Priyansh Arya after scoring his hundred in an IPL match

PBKS vs CSK: Punjab Kings’ skipper Shreyas Iyer chose to bat first after winning the toss, and the opener Priyansh Arya started the game with a six of the first ball. He showed his intent to play like this as his innings last and continued doing so, though the home team lost wickets of Prabhsimran Singh, Shreyas Iyer, and Marcus Stoinis from the other end; the youngster continued hitting runs from his end and didn’t let the run rate drop. Shashank Singh joined him, and both batters hit bowlers from both ends. It was in the 13th over when Priyansh Arya scored his maiden IPL ton. Noor Ahmed picked up his wicket, but the damage was done; Marco Jansen and Shashank Singh built the partnership for the 8th wicket to take their team to the score of 219 runs at the end of 20 overs.

Chasing the target of 220 runs, CSK got a good start as openers Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway provided a stable start to their team at the end of the powerplay. CSK were 59 for no loss, but Glenn Maxwell forced Rachin Ravindra to step out and picked up his wicket in the 7th over. Skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad was next to get out; some dropped catches from the Punjab Kings’ side let Shivam Dube and Devon Conway score runs. Conway scored his fifty. MS Dhoni hit 26 runs for his team, but that wasn’t enough to win the match as CSK remained 18 runs short and lost the match.

Absolutely. This is going to be the template, irrespective of the ground. We have variety in the batting line-up. Great hitters, great timers, scintillating to watch Priyansh bat from the outside. When I had a chat with him in the last game, he was a bit timid in his decision-making against Jofra. Tonight, he was backing his instincts. It was free-flowing and that is the mindset I want in everyone. Today, he kept on going, he was fearless and it was basically one of the top knocks I have seen in the IPL so far. (On Chahal being held back) That was a tactical call, because Dube had already played a few deliveries, and also Conway. With Yuzi coming in, we know how destructive he (Dube) can be. But Yuzi is a smart bowler. My instincts felt that pacers bowling slower balls into the wicket (would work), and we basically wanted pace against Dube. We delayed a bit but eventually, it worked out.

In the last four games, that is the only point of difference. It has been very critical. Every time we are dropping the catch, the same batter is adding 20-25-30 runs extra. If you leave out the RCB game, the last three chases, it was a matter of one or two or maybe three hits. Sometimes you have to appreciate the way Priyansh played. He took his chances. It was high-risk batting and it came off really well for him. Even though we were taking wickets, they kept the momentum going. 10-15 (less we could have conceded), if we would have executed well, and at the end of the day, it also comes down to the dropped catches. Today was spot-on from a batting perspective.
