Priyam Garg Unleashes Mayhem: 59-Ball 187 Powers BBC to Mammoth Win Over SS Nalanda
LSKCM T20 Trophy: BBC vs SS Nalanda. Player of the Match: Priyam Garg 187(59)
In an over-excitement match between BBC vs SS Nalanda, Priyam Garg lit up the field with a record-shattering 187 off just 59 balls, driving BBC to a massive victory over SS Nalanda by 67 runs. The match witnessed over 500 runs in just 36 overs, but it was BBC who out-batted and out-bowled their opponents to keep their winning streak alive.
After being put in to bat, BBC got off to a decent start with Rituraj Sharma (12 off 8) providing early momentum. The tone changed completely when Priyam Garg stepped in at No. 3.
From the moment he stepped up to bat, Priyam seemed unstoppable. His timing was spot-on, his placements were deadly, and his power was incredible. What happened next was truly remarkable as he scored 187 runs in just 59 balls, hitting 12 fours and an astonishing 20 sixes. Every bowler was helpless as Priyam made the match feel like his own highlight reel.
But he wasn’t alone. At the other end, Akshu (64 off 22 balls) joined the carnage with 7 towering sixes, ensuring the run rate stayed sky-high. The two combined to dismantle SS Nalanda’s bowling attack, adding over 150 runs in no time.
BBC finished their innings at 296/4 in just 18 overs, their second-highest total of the season and one of the most dominant batting performances in the tournament.
Chasing 297 was never going to be easy, but SS Nalanda refused to go down without a fight. Openers Himanshu Rana (22 off 11) and Jasmeet Nain (24 off 8) came out swinging, adding a quick 40+ before falling in succession.
Then Gaurav Tomer entered, and what a response it was! The right-hander launched a furious counterattack, smashing 103 off just 37 deliveries*, including 13 monstrous sixes. He fought like a lone warrior, refusing to bow down to the scoreboard pressure.
While wickets tumbled around him, Tomer kept the scoreboard ticking and even made the game look competitive for a while. However, with no support from the middle order and pressure mounting, the chase eventually fizzled out.
SS Nalanda finished at 229 all out in 18 overs, falling 67 runs short but not without putting up a fight that kept the spectators on the edge of their seats.
