South Delhi Superstarz opening batter Priyansh Arya emulated Yuvraj Singh and others by smashing six sixes in an over in a Delhi Premier League (DPL) T20 match in New Delhi on Saturday (August 31).

The 23-year-old left-handed Arya scored a 50-ball 120 with 10 fours and 10 sixes against North Delhi Strikers at the Arun Jaitley Stadium while his captain Ayush Badoni blasted a 55-ball 165 with a record 19 sixes. His knock also included eight fours.

The official X (formerly Twitter) of Delhi Premier League, shared the video of Arya hitting six sixes in an over off Manan Bharadwaj, in the 12th over of the innings.

As Arya and Badoni hit centuries, South Delhi Superstarz posted a record 308/5 in 20 overs.

Badoni and Arya also broke the record of highest partnership for any wicket in T20s with their 286-run stand for the second wicket. The duo in the process went past Japan opening pair of Lachlan Yamamoto-Lake and Kendel Kadowaki-Fleming, who had put on 258 for the opening wicket against China in February this year.

In reply to South Delhi’s mammoth score, North Delhi Strikers Pranshu Vijayran fought a lone battle to score 62 from 32 balls, including eight fours and four sixes but his side was set an improbable target to achieve.

Raghav Singh emerged as the pick of the bowlers for South Delhi Superstarz as he picked 3/34 from his three overs.
