Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) registered their second win in the ongoing thirteenth edition of the Indian Premier League in the UAE after defeating Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by 7 runs at Dubai on Friday.

SRH's teen batting sensation Priyam Garg was the show stopper with the willow as the India Under-19 skipper scored a quick fire maiden half ton to bail his team out of trouble and help them post a challenging 165-run total against CSK.

Garg registered his first even half century in the IPL when SRH lost all off their frontline batsman and were reeling at 69 for 4 at one stage of their innings. His blazing half ton knock came in just 23 deliveries and was laced with six fours and one hit over the fence.


Garg stitched a gritty 77-run stand for the fifth wicket with fellow Under-19 team mate Abhishek Sharma to rebuild a derailed SRH innings and bring them back into the match.
