It was during the Delhi Premier League 2024 that a young Priyansh Arya first snatched the spotlight while playing for South Delhi Superstarz. Now, the same Priyansh Arya has become a hero for Punjab Kings in the ongoing IPL 2025, after scripting history with a 39-ball hundred against Chennai Super Kings, the fastest IPL century by an uncapped player.
This batting prodigy was also Delhi’s highest run-scorer in the 2023–24 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, scoring 222 runs in 7 innings. Once again, here in IPL 2025, he’s proving his worth in style.
But interestingly, he’s not the only uncapped player to smash a hundred in the IPL. Over the years, quite a few names have achieved this rare feat. Let’s take a look at the top uncapped players who have scored centuries in IPL history.
