Twitterati were mighty impressed by the youngster’s blitzes as social media was filled with praises. Priyam Garg Quick Facts: Here's All You Need to Know About 19-Year-old SRH Batsman.
Earlier in the game, SRH captain David Warner won the toss and elected to bat first. The decision didn’t prove to be impeccable as the likes of Jonny Bairstow and Kane Williamson were dismissed without troubling CSK much. David Warner and Manish Pandey tried to form a substantial, but the duo perished in quick succession while trying to up the ante. Just when the bowling side looked over the game, Garg joined forces with another young gun Abhishek Sharma, and the duo added 77 runs off only 42 balls.

With 164 runs on the board, SRH must fancy their chances of winning the game as CSK’s batting line-up hasn’t looked quite impressive in the tournament. Also, SRH have a potent bowling attack with the likes of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, T Natarajan and Rashid Khan in the ranks.
