- Spectator hit by Priyan Arya’s six, suffered bleeding, recovered.
- Player and owner video called, showed concern.

Priyansh Arya, Punjab Kings’ opening batsman, played a brisk 29 off 11 against Rajasthan Royals this past Tuesday, April 28, in IPL 2026. He was only able to hit one six on the day, which led to an unfortunate moment as it struck a spectator in the face. A video that surfaced online showed the fan, later identified as Krishan Chand, bleeding after the impact. In a warm gesture, Arya, along with PBKS co-owner Preity Zinta, reached out to the man through a video call to follow up on his condition. Check it out:

Heartwarming Gesture After Scary Moment
During the video call, Priyansh Arya told Krishan Chand that he had been worried after seeing the video, a concern echoed by Preity Zinta. The fan reassured them that he was doing fine and credited their prayers for his recovery.
“I was having tension after watching the video, wondering if you had been badly hurt.” Arya said.
“I’m fine, I was saved thanks to your prayers.” the fan replied.

Preity Zinta then added, “We would love to invite you to Dharamshala, and this time we’ll make you wear a helmet so that if a ball comes your way, you stay safe and secure.”
