NEW DELHI: Some time during the Delhi Premier League, former India cricketer Nikhil Chopra was playing a round of golf with Yuvraj Singh. Chopra informed Yuvraj about a boy named Priyansh Arya who had recently hit six sixes in an over during the T20 tournament. Yuvraj, who is famous for the same feat, promptly recorded a video message for the young left-hander from Delhi.
Cut to November 2024, there was a lot of promptness from the franchises as they raised the paddle for young Priyansh who was finally sold to Punjab Kings for Rs 3.80 crore after a fierce bidding war with Delhi Capitals, Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
