Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are one team that have been part of the Indian Premier League (IPL) since its inaugural edition. However, the team has not been able to win even a single IPL trophy to date. Even though the franchise has featured some of the biggest superstars in cricket, somehow the trophy has still eluded them.
And now a young cricketing sensation who has announced himself with 6 sixes in 6 balls during a recent Delhi Premier League (DPL) match has made a massive claim. The batter who happens to be none other than Priyansh Arya said that he wants to play for RCB since Virat Kohli happens to be his favourite cricketer and he will do his best to help the team win its maiden title.

"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," Priyansh told PTI.
After the fourth six, I started to believe that I can hit six sixes: Priyansh Arya
Notably, Priyansh is currently the leading run-getter in the ongoing DPL. He has scored 602 runs from nine innings already and made headlines when he smashed 6 sixes in an over while batting for South Delhi Superstarz against North Delhi Strikers. Left-arm spinner Manan Bharadwaj was on the receiving end in the 12th over of the South Delhi batting innings. His 6-sixes in an over feat helped Priyansh Arya bring up his second DPL hundred in the season.
"I had this thing in mind that if a left-arm spinner comes on to bowl, I will attack him. After the fourth six, I started to believe that I can hit six sixes and will go for that. Ayush backed me and told me to go for the kill," Priyansh added.
