Skipper Kane Williamson was not looking in good touch at all, as he was dismissed for single-digit scores in the three matches before this game. Hence, the management gave Priyam Garg his first opportunity in IPL 2022, and looking back at it now, they can be very proud of their decision.
Though his opening partner Abhishek Sharma lost his wicket in the third over, Garg kept the scoreboard ticking – rotating the strike effectively with Rahul Tripathi and also playing big shots. He smashed two boundaries in the third over by Daniel Sams, while later on, he took the attack on spinners Mayank Markande and Sanjay Yadav.
