List of uncapped players to smash a century in the IPL ft. Priyansh Arya

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 witnessed a landmark moment on Monday night as Priyansh Arya scripted history with a blistering century for Punjab Kings (PBKS) against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium.

The 24-year-old Delhi-born batter blazed his way to 103 runs off just 42 balls, recording the fastest century by an uncapped player in IPL history.

Arya’s sensational knock, which came off just 39 deliveries, is now the fourth-fastest century overall in IPL and the second-fastest by an Indian, trailing only Yusuf Pathan’s 37-ball ton in 2010. His innings was the centerpiece of PBKS’s imposing total of 219/6, ultimately powering the side to an 18-run win over a resilient CSK outfit.

Priyansh Arya’s blitz: A knock for the ages

Priyansh’s innings started in dramatic fashion, launching Khaleel Ahmed for six off the very first ball he faced. Despite a couple of reprieves—he was dropped twice, once each by Khaleel and Mukesh Choudhary—Arya made CSK pay dearly. His 42-ball masterpiece was laced with 8 sixes and 9 fours, sending the Mullanpur crowd into a frenzy.

His explosive performance not only guided PBKS’s to victory but also carved his name into the record books as the eighth uncapped player to score an IPL century—a rare feat that places him among some of the most exciting homegrown talents the league has seen.

CSK once again falls short 

CSK, in response, fought valiantly but fell short at 201/5 in their 20 overs. Despite late resistance from veterans like MS Dhoni, the Chennai side couldn’t match PBKS’s firepower. The win was Punjab’s fourth of the season, pushing them into the top four of the IPL 2025 points table.

With Arya’s performance, PBKS not only found a match-winner but perhaps also unearthed a future star for Indian cricket.
