The latest addition in Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) squad, Priyam Garg, shocked the cricket fans on Friday as he scored a half-century on 23 balls against Chennai Super League during the on-going Indian Premier League (IPL) played in UAE.
The Sunrise Hyderabad came under clouds during the 11th over, when Kane Williamson flicked the last ball to mid-wicket and ran for a quick single, only to get run out in the mid of the pitch as Garg failed to respond.
But, the 19-year-old promising player took the onus of scoring runs after Williamson’s departure, and along with Abhishek Sharma (31 off 24), pulled SRH out of a dangerous situation.
The Twitteratis were thrilled to see Garg performing at his best after his maiden 50 came off 23 deliveries and was marred with six boundaries and a solitary maximum to bail his side out of hot waters.
Here’s how social media has responded to Priyam Garg’s knock.

KARACHI, OCT 02 (DNA) – Pakistan People’s Party leader Qamar Zaman Kaira criticized on Friday the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority for imposing a ban on airing of Nawaz Sharif’s speeches and questioned the regulator’s authority to do so.
PEMRA’s directives came after recent speeches by Nawaz Sharif that were critical of the government and the military establishment.
“Under which law, PEMRA is stopping Nawaz Sharif’s speeches,” Kaira asked. He noted that Prime Minister Imran Khan had said that he had permitted airing of Nawaz’s speeches on TV. How could the prime minister permit something that was against the law, he questioned.
PEMRA issued a notification regarding the ban on showing the speeches of “proclaimed offenders” and absconders Thursday. The Islamabad High Court had issued non-bailabale arrest warrants for Nawaz in the Al-Azizia Steel Mills case after he had failed to appear before the court.
Kaira said PM Khan’s government should stop hiding behind institutions as they belong to all Pakistanis. He said the opposition had decided that this government had to go home. = DNA
