Priyansh Arya announced itself in the IPL with a war 47 of 23 for Punjab Kings against Gujarat Titans. He then had two failures: 8 against LSG and a first ball duck against RR. At some point between the games, his captain Shreyas Iyer came to Arya in the nets and talked to him. “When I went to bat in the nets, he asked me what was going on in my mind,” Arya said during an online interaction on Thursday (April 10). “I told him a few things. That’s why he just told me to keep a clear thoughts and not consider anything, and playing on my instinct. He told me to support my game. ‘ The other thing Shreyas Iyer did was say to Arya, “Don’t worry, you’ll play all 14 games”-which makes the 24-year-old feel confident and comfortable immediately. And in the next match, he blew 103 out of 42 against Chennai Super Kings, in a turn where none of the other top six ended up in double digits.

Confidence that I can clean the border. I’ve been with him since I was young. He tells me a lot about the spiritual side of the game and what to do, “Arya said.” He told me to concentrate on the cut and pull, because in the IPL, it is not, of course, as if I will get very easy balls to hit.
