Delhi Premier League sensation Priyansh Arya, who became the first player to hit six sixes in an over in the ongoing tournament, said he was not paying much attention to his prospects of getting picked at the mega auction of Indian Premier League.

My favourite team is RCB, admire Virat Kohli a lot, I like his aggression. I also like to play aggressive cricket. He is my idol," said Priyansh in an exclusive interview with PTI Videos on Tuesday.
