Ahead of the start of the anticipated contest between Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals, star opener Priyansh Arya expressed how he wants to steal a feature from Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s batting.
Punjab Kings returned to their home ground in New Chandigarh, a ground where they have done it all, be it chasing big scores or defending low scores. The Kings will be looking to continue their winning streak at this venue and this season as well.
However, a major concern for the Kings is the RR youngster who has been on top of almost all the lists. He has been the emerging player of the season so far, one of the best strikers of the ball, one of the best openers and also one of the highest-scoring batsmen in this edition.
PBKS batsman wants to borrow this trait from RR opener Vaibhav Suryavanshi
Suryavanshi has been in great form in this edition of the competition, as he has not only made a great start to the season but has also tallied big scores like a century in the last game and the number of half-centuries in the competition.
Every opposition and almost every bowler who has bowled against him is scared and also doesn’t know what can help him get out of that hitting arc. Now, another swashbuckling opening batsman Priyansh Arya has also expressed his desire to snatch away that quality from the young cricketer.
When asked which attribute or quality he would like to pick from Suryavanshi this season, Arya claimed that he would prefer the young man’s excellent bat swing which has helped him flourish on most occasions and generate extra power.
Priyansh Arya said, “I would like to borrow Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s bat swing.”

IPL involves a competition among their players, which marks the players who have been super-strikers in the game, and the criteria is that they have to appear in more than seven games and face more than 100 balls.
In this race, Indian youngsters have probably dominated the overseas players this season, with Priyansh Arya and Vaibhav Suryavanshi topping the list of batsmen. Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan and Rajat Patidar are the other players in this list.
With a strike rate of 250, Priyansh Arya is currently overtaken by the young RR batsman, who has scored 238 runs on his outings in the current season of the competition.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi is now on top of the Orange Cap leaderboard on this occasion. After scoring another quickfire 43 off just 16 balls, he has once again topped the Orange Cap list with 400 runs in just 9 matches this season.
What has set him apart from his peers is the consistency with which he has performed despite a tremendous strike rate. He has also left behind the great Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Heinrich Klaasen and Indian opener Abhishek Sharma.
