In a recent podcast, Priyansh Arya, the promising opening batsman for punjab Kings, named yuvraj singh as India's greatest left-handed batter, dismissing gautam gambhir and other notable names. This revelation highlights Arya's admiration for Singh, as he consistently chose him over other players like shikhar dhawan and rishabh pant during a discussion on the best left-handers.
Arya made headlines during his debut IPL season, where his exceptional performance earned him recognition as one of the standout newcomers. The punjab Kings signed him for an impressive INR 3.8 Crores after he showcased his skills in the delhi Premier League, notably hitting six sixes in an over—echoing Yuvraj Singh's famous t20 world cup feat. Arya's remarkable season included scoring 475 runs in 17 matches, with a strike rate nearing 180 and a memorable century.
The IPL has become a vital platform for young cricketers to gain international exposure, with state-level leagues offering opportunities to showcase talent. Arya's journey reflects this, as he transitioned from being Delhi's top run-scorer in the syed mushtaq ali Trophy to a coveted player in the IPL.
Additionally, fellow cricketer abhishek Sharma has credited yuvraj singh as a mentor, acknowledging his influence on his own development as a player. Sharma has also made a name for himself in the IPL, scoring 484 runs in the 2024 season and following up with another impressive performance in 2025.
With Arya's rising star and the mentorship from legends like yuvraj singh, the future looks bright for these young talents in indian cricket.
