IPL 2026: Arya, Connolly Hit Blazing Fifties, Power PBKS To 254/7 Against LSG
Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket: Blazing half-centuries from opener Priyansh Arya (93 off 37 balls) and Australian southpaw Cooper Connolly (87 off 46 balls) powered Punjab Kings (PBKS) to a humongous 254/7 in their IPL 2026 clash against Lucknow Super Giants on Sunday.
At a packed Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Arya and Connolly produced a breathtaking display of modern-day power-hitting while sharing a 182-run second-wicket partnership and shatter LSG’s bowling rhythm to post the highest score of this season.
With the aim to send every ball past the boundary ropes, Priyansh hit four boundaries and nine sixes at will, while Connolly matched him step by step by smashing eight fours and seven sixes. Though they lost wickets at the back end, the Arya-Connolly efforts meant PBKS crossed 250-mark. For LSG, Prince Yadav was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 2-25, while the rest of the bowling attack conceded 226 runs in 16 overs.
