Opener priyansh arya

Adani Delhi Premier League: Opener Priyansh Arya became the first player to hit six sixes in an over in the inaugural edition of the Adani Delhi Premier League (DPL) tournament. Representing South Delhi Superstarz, Priyansh hit six sixes in the over bowled by Manan Bharadwaj of the North Delhi Strikers here at Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday.

He also went on to complete his century in just 40 balls, but nothing came closer to Priyansh’s onslaught on Manan under the afternoon skies. Priyansh began by dancing down the pitch to hit Manan over long-off for six, followed by going down on one knee to send the ball over long-on fence for another maximum.

There was no ending for the onslaught as the left-handed batter hit two more sixes over long-on, followed by hitting two more over long-off to take a stunning 36 runs off six balls of the 12th over. He later brought up his second century of the ongoing tournament in the 15th over.
