“I Want to Contribute More” – Priyansh Arya Reflects After Century vs CSK
Priyansh Arya earned the Player of the Match award for his brilliant 103 off just 42 balls against Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Speaking at the post-match presentation, the 24-year-old shared that he hopes to make even greater contributions to the team’s success. Arya said [as quoted by Cricbuzz]:
“Out of the world feeling, I feel very happy but I feel I should contribute more to the team. Shreyas told me to bat with intent, you go for it even with your first ball after I got out last match. When Nehal came out to bat, I told him we will look for singles and doubles, but he told me you play the way with whatever first comes to your mind. All bowlers are good, any bowler could have troubled me.”
