Fans now have to carefully consider bringing their own protective gear to these venues due to the smaller grounds and wider bats. A fan injured himself during the Punjab Kings vs Rajasthan Royals IPL 2026 match on Tuesday in New Chandigarh, leaving his face covered in blood. PBKS opener Priyansh Arya hit a six, despite the frightening sights. Others gathered around the spectator to assess the situation after the ball struck him. The spectator was reportedly sent to a local hospital. This is the video of the person who is now trending.
With an 11-ball 29 cameo, Priyansh, who was in menacing form with the bat, got the Punjab side off to a flyer. He scored four boundaries and a six in his lighthearted brief appearance. He mistimed a pull shot to mid-on and was dismissed in the third over against Jofra Archer. Throughout the current season, the PBKS opener has been in incredible form, scoring 283 runs at an average of 40.42 in seven games. Despite scoring a massive 222 for four, Punjab ultimately lost the game by six wickets. Donovan Ferreira, who scored 52 off 26 balls, was the star of the show for Rajasthan. Because he led his team over the finish line, he was also named player of the match.
IPL 2026: How has Priyansh Arya performed for PBKS?
Priyansh Arya, playing his second season in the Indian Premier League, has showcased incredible form. The left-handed opening batter is certainly one of the top batters in IPL 2026. In seven innings, Arya has amassed 283 runs at a strike rate of 250.44. He is averaging 40.42. However, it is his ability to hit boundaries at will that is setting him apart from the plethora of top-order batters. Arya, this season, has managed to hit a boundary on every 2.62 balls he faces. His performance at the top of the order has helped Punjab Kings maintain their top position on the IPL 2026 points table despite the loss against the Rajasthan Royals yesterday.
