Pant Out, Rs 27 Crore To Priyansh Arya
‘Pant Out, Rs 27 Crore To Priyansh Arya’: Sanjiv Goenka’s Meeting With PBKS Opener Sparks Meme Fest
Priyansh Arya lit up Mullanpur with a stunning assault, smashing 93 off just 37 balls to power Punjab Kings to a daunting total against Lucknow Super Giants. The left-hander’s fearless hitting set the tone for PBKS’ dominance, with support from Cooper Connolly and late fireworks from Marcus Stoinis and Shashank Singh pushing the total to a massive 254.
Priyansh Arya’s knock also drew praise from LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka, who was seen in conversation with the young batter after the match. Known for his candid exchanges in the past IPL seasons, with the likes of KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant, Goenka appeared engaged despite another tough outing for his side.
Meanwhile, Pant was spotted chatting with PBKS co-owner Preity Zinta, alongside Yuzvendra Chahal and Shashank Singh.

The fans went crazy over this meet-up, speculating that the LSG might go after Priyansh Arya in the next auction and offering him Rishabh Pant’s salary – worth Rs 27 crore.

Priyansh Arya and Cooper Connolly stitched together a breathtaking stand to power Punjab Kings to a massive 254/7 in 20 overs, leaving Lucknow Super Giants with no real chance in the chase. The duo added a stunning 182 runs off just 80 balls, smashing 16 sixes between them in a display of pure power-hitting. Priyansh blazed away to 93 off 37, reaching his fifty in just 19 balls, while Connolly showcased his class with a 45-ball 87, accelerating brilliantly after a steady start.
In reply, LSG began well with 61 in the Powerplay, but never truly threatened the target. Rishabh Pant (43 off 23) and Mitchell Marsh (40 off 28) showed intent, but their efforts fell short against the relentless assault from PBKS. Vyshak Vijaykumar’s clever variations ensured the chase never gained momentum.
Earlier, Priyansh dominated with brute force, dispatching full balls down the ground and punishing anything short, while Connolly mixed elegance with aggression. A missed DRS call by Pant to dismiss Connolly early proved costly, as LSG lost control completely. Even as owner Sanjiv Goenka watched on, the damage inflicted by the Priyansh-Connolly partnership had already sealed the contest.
