PRIYAM GARG REVEALS HOW KANE WILLIAMSON REACTED AFTER ON-FIELD CONFUSION AND RUN OUT
Home > News Shots > SportsIn the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) match against Chennai Super Kings (CSK), New Zealand captain Kane Williamson, who is known for his calmness and composure was seen losing his cool on the field.
Kane, who doesn’t let his emotions come out and remains chill even in pressure cooker situations was seen happy and miffed after a bad mix-up that led to his expected run-out.
However, after Kane's run out, Garg scored his maiden IPL half-century. He made 51 off 26 with six fours and a six, guiding the Sunrisers to a competitive 164 in 20 overs. He also also got the Player of the Match award after David Warner and Co emerged victorious by seven runs.
After the match, Priyam Garg revealed that his miscommunication with Kane Williamson was a mistake, which led to Kane's dismissal. The New Zealand captain was run-out when he tried for a quick single after pushing the ball towards the short mid-wicket region. After which, Ambati Rayudu, who was quick to throw the ball towards MS Dhoni, ended up taking his wicket.
Post match, Garg revealed Williamson told him not to worry too much after the incident. "He (Williamson) told me not to worry or think too much about the run-out, told me to forget about it and focus on the rest of the match," Garg said.
"I was feeling very bad (on the run-out) because he (Williamson) was the set batsman and also far more experienced. That run-out was a mistake but things eventually improved," he was quoted as saying in IPLT20.com.
Further revealing on how he planned to take Ravindra Jadeja during the match, Garg asserted “I had no pressure when Abhishek came in to bat, because we know each other and our strengths. We both gelled well together and enjoyed each others’ batting. I felt really good about scoring my first IPL fifty,” he stated.
“I thought I could take 3-4 balls to get in, but that turned into 7-8 balls. Priyam was batting very well, so I thought I shouldn’t be the one negating the runs, so I decided to target Ravindra Jadeja,” Garg added.
