Priyam Garg reveals Kane Williamson’s reaction to his run-out incident after his match-winning knock

Hyderabad had quickly lost their first three wickets and Kane Williamson was trying to settle on the pitch to play for long but a misunderstanding in running between him and Priyam Garg at the other end, made him lose his wicket. Williamson gave Garg stares while returning back to the pavilion but consoled Priyam to not worry after his match-winning knock.

“It felt really bad when he got run-out. He was a set batsman. Then he was run-out by a mistake, but everything went alright after that,” Priyam Garg told IPLT20.com.

“When I went back to the dug out, he said to me ‘Don’t worry mate, forget about it. You’ve batted really well’,” he added.
