Priyansh Arya turned up against Chennai Super Kings and smashed a spectacular 100 from 39 balls. He matched Travis Head for the fourth-fastest IPL hundred, and his aggressive strokeplay and positive intent got the Punjab Kings to a total where it proved to be match-winning.
Marsh was able to score his very first IPL century, and it was a scoresheet of 100 runs scored in 56 balls hitting 10 boundaries and six massive sixes. Marsh's calm but destructive innings meant that Lucknow Super Giants were on a strong platform and contributed towards their total of 235/2.
Ishan Kishan produced an attacking masterclass smashing a 45-ball century and clubbing bowlers all around the park. His fearless ambition and clean hitting meant that Mumbai Indians produced a formidable total and showed he was capable of being one of India's top T20 openers.
Abhishek Sharma was bringing some energy at the top of the order with a stunning century scored in 55 balls. His aggressive batting alongside the boundaries he was hitting, proved that he had a place in the IPL as a player.By scoring quickly, Sharma set the table beautifully for the middle-order batters who then could play positively to put up a competitive total against some quality bowling.
These outstanding innings not only excited fans, but also created new records in T20 cricket and reflected the changing dynamics of the game.
