Reflecting on his performance, Priyansh said, “I took my time in the beginning of the innings this time, which helped me get set. My childhood coach, Mr. Sanjay Bhardwaj, had called me before the match and said, ‘Score a century for me today’, I’m glad I could do exactly that for him.”

Batting at number three, Karan Garg provided valuable support, scoring a quickfire 43 off 24 balls. His 92-run partnership with Priyansh proved vital in setting up the imposing total.
