He wears Virat Kohli's jersey number 18 on his back, idolises the batting maestro, and hopes to play for his IPL team, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, someday.
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.
Arya is currently the highest run getter in DPL with a mindboggling 602 runs in 9 innings, with two hundreds to his name. He has an impressive average of 75.25 and an astonishing strike rate of 198.0. "Virat Kohli is my favourite, want to play for RCB.
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.
