Former India wicketkeeper-batter Saba Karim compared PBKS’ Priyansh Arya with MI’s Ryan Rickelton, and said, "Rickelton is quite like Priyansh Arya...both of them are very steady." He noted that both batters wait for the ball to come to them, adding, "Both of them have got a similar kind of a bat swing...when they try and hit on the on side."
