Indian Premier League:<\/b> Rising opening batter Priyansh Arya reflected on his time with India A as he gears up for the one-dayers against Australia A from Tuesday onwards. he called playing for India 'A' fun, as it gives the pressure but also the privilege. He scored a 101 against Australia A last year in Kanpur and has five more fifties in List A cricket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"It's a lot of fun playing for India A, and to wear the blue jersey is a proud feeling,\" Arya told the media in Delhi. \"I felt great to have scored a century for India A last year. There's a bit of pressure on you when you're playing for your country at any level. However, that pressure is also a privilege. I enjoy playing under that pressure and try to handle it well.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Delhi batter has been in the headlines in the past two Indian Premier League seasons too. He scored 475 runs in IPL 2025 at a strike rate of 179.24 and improved it in the 2026 season with 364 runs at 211.62.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Arya claimed that his focus remains on capitalising the powerplay, rather than the strike rate. \"I don't focus as much on the strike rate, but I still try to capitalise on the powerplay as much as possible,\" Arya said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I put in a little more effort during this IPL than last year, and it paid off. If there's high risk (in my approach), then there's high reward as well. I just have self-belief, and there are no doubts in my mind when I hit the ball.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
