The duo’s pictures have left fans swooning as many turned nostalgic, revisiting fond memories and wished for another collaboration.

Coming to the match, Priyansh was looking well set for his second IPL century, but was caught by Mitchell Marsh at long-off for a 37-ball 93, with four boundaries and nine sixes, giving M Siddharth his wicket in the 15th over. He was the third person dismissed for PBKS at score of 187 runs.

Arya’s knock featured four boundaries and nine towering sixes, as he fell just short of what could have been a well-deserved century after a dominant display at the top.
