Punjab Kings defeated Chennai Super Kings by 18 runs in an IPL match here.

Earlier, young opener Priyansh Arya slammed his maiden IPL century to power Punjab Kings to 219 for 6.

Arya, a product of Delhi Premier League, rode his luck and power-hitting to make 103 off just 42 balls with the help of seven fours and nine hits over the fence to power PBKS to the total.

He brought up his IPL century in 39 balls which is the fifth fastest of the tournament.

West Indian Chris Gayle holds the record for the fastest IPL century, which came in just 30 balls in 2013.

Besides Arya, Shashank Singh scored 52 not out off 36 balls, while Marco Jansen made unbeaten 34 off 19 balls towards the end to give the impetus to PBKS innings.

For CSK, Khaleel Ahmed (2/45) and Ravichandran Ashwin (2/48) took two wickets each.
