“I Was Just Listening to You…”: Priyansh Arya's Heartwarming Reply Makes Preity Zinta Blush – Watch the Viral Video

IPL 2025 turned magical on Tuesday night as a new star took center stage—24-year-old debutant Priyansh Arya, who smashed a fiery century against CSK and became the toast of the cricketing world. But beyond his bat, it was a sweet post-match moment with team co-owner Preity Zinta that stole millions of hearts.

A video is now going viral where Preity, visibly ecstatic after the Punjab Kings’ victory, chats with Priyansh and asks about their first meeting. What follows is a humble reply that has now become the most talked-about moment of the night.

“You Didn’t Say a Word Yesterday!” – Preity’s Curious Question

After Punjab Kings clinched an 18-run win, Preity Zinta approached Priyansh for a post-match chat and said with a smile,

“I met you just a day before and you didn’t say a word. You were so quiet! And today, you played an unbelievable knock. How does it feel?”

Priyansh responded shyly,

“When we met, I was really enjoying listening to you, so I stayed quiet. And as for today’s match... it feels incredible—out of this world, top of the world!”

Preity blushed at the heartfelt answer, and fans instantly fell in love with this adorably genuine exchange.

Lightning Debut: Priyansh Arya’s 103 off 42 Balls

Hailing from Delhi, left-handed batsman Priyansh Arya made a grand IPL debut at Mullanpur Stadium, Mohali, scoring an unbeaten 103 runs off just 42 balls against the mighty Chennai Super Kings.

His whirlwind innings included 7 fours and 9 sixes, and he brought up his century in just 39 balls, making him the second-fastest Indian to score an IPL century after Yusuf Pathan, who did it in 37 balls back in 2010.

As soon as Priyansh launched the ball over long-on to complete his century, the camera panned to the dugout—where Preity Zinta was seen jumping in joy, clapping ecstatically. The stadium roared along with her.

The Journey Behind the Glory

This wasn’t just a lucky day for Priyansh. His IPL breakthrough was the result of years of grind in domestic cricket:

• He shot to fame during the Delhi Premier League, where he smashed six sixes in an over and scored a stunning 120-run knock.
• In the 2024–25 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, he was Delhi’s top scorer.
• Thanks to this performance, Punjab Kings signed him for ₹3.8 crore, a huge leap from his base price of ₹30 lakh.

Clearly, the talent was there. All it needed was the right stage—and IPL 2025 gave him that spotlight.

Match Summary: PBKS vs CSK

Batting first, Punjab Kings posted 219/6, powered almost singlehandedly by Priyansh. Despite losing wickets at regular intervals, his counterattack kept the momentum alive. In reply, CSK gave a solid chase but eventually fell short by 18 runs, finishing at 201.

A Star Is Born, and Fans Are Smitten

Priyansh Arya’s debut was more than a century—it was the arrival of a new fan favorite, not just for his batting, but for his charm and humility. His on-field brilliance and off-field innocence, especially the sweet exchange with Preity Zinta, proved that cricket still has a heart.

As fans continue to share and swoon over that viral video, one question echoes everywhere—what will this Delhi boy do next?
