Priyansh Arya’s 199 Makes Immediate Impact To Rescue Sinking Delhi
Delhi suffered an outright nine-wicket defeat against Bengal in the opening round of the 2026-27 Ranji Trophy. Priyansh Arya missed that game but returned to the playing XI for their home clash against Gujarat.
Delhi desperately needed a strong response after their disastrous start to the campaign, and Arya proved to be a huge difference-maker with his brilliant 199-run knock.
