Priyansh Arya Reacts After Hitting A Ton
“The feeling is out of this world. I am happy but I want to contribute more for the team. This is my way (of batting). Shreyas bhaiya told me to bat with intent. Even if I get out, there are no worries and just to play what I have in my mind. Have to play the situation also. When Nehal came in, I was thinking singles and doubles but he told me to back my first instinct and I played that way. All bowlers were very good, so I felt any bowler could cause me problems.”
