PBKS vs CSK: Priyansh Arya Creates History, Smashes Fastest Century By Uncapped Player In IPL-OxBig News Network

Punjab Kings opener Priyansh Arya on Tuesday created history as he smashed the fastest century by an uncapped player in Indian Premier League (IPL). The 24-year-old scored his century in only 39 balls against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Maharaja Yadvinder Singh Stadium in Mullanpur, Chandigarh.

This was also the second-fastest century by an Indian after Yusuf Pathan, who hit a 37-ball ton in 2010.
