Priyansh Arya IPL Salary

Priyansh Arya was acquired by the Punjab Kings during the IPL 2025 Mega Auction for a substantial sum of INR 3.8 crore. Entering the auction with a base price of just INR 30 lakh, the 23-year-old triggered an intense bidding war between several franchises, most notably the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Delhi Capitals (DC).

Punjab Kings eventually secured his services after the bidding crossed the INR 3.5 crore mark. Under the current IPL retention and contract rules for the 2026 season, Arya remains with the Kings at the same valuation, solidifying his role as a key pillar of their top-order batting unit.
