Early life and background

Priyam Kumar Garg was born on 30 November 2000 in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh. He grew up in a modest household in Meerut and began playing cricket when he was about six years old. His early training started at Victoria Park in Meerut, a facility he traveled to regularly from home. As a child he faced financial constraints; his family could not afford a television and he would watch matches from a nearby paan shop. His father, Naresh Garg, took on a variety of odd jobs to support the family and Priyam’s cricket training. His mother, Kusum Devi, passed away in 2011 when Priyam was eleven.

Garg attended no formal school or college according to the available information. He comes from a large family: his father Naresh, an elder brother Shivam who is a pharmacist, at least one other brother, and three sisters named Pooja, Jyoti and Reshu. His early exposure to the sport and regular coaching shaped his development; he initially bowled fast but coaches encouraged him to concentrate on batting, where he showed particular aptitude.

Career

Priyam Garg is a right-handed batsman who bowls right-arm medium and represents Uttar Pradesh in domestic cricket. He made his List A debut for Uttar Pradesh against Saurashtra in the Vijay Hazare Trophy on 19 September 2018. A month later he played his first-class debut in the Ranji Trophy for Uttar Pradesh versus Goa on 1 November 2018, scoring a century in that debut match. He made his T20 debut for Uttar Pradesh against Maharashtra on 21 February 2019.

Coaches who have guided his progress include Ashwani Sharma, Sanjay Rastogi and Kanhaiyalal Tejwani. Garg has named Suresh Raina as an important influence from his time with the Uttar Pradesh side, and he has cited Sachin Tendulkar as his personal cricketing idol.

In 2018 he was considered for India’s Under-19 squad but missed selection that year as his form had dipped; selectors opted to give him time to regain confidence. His fortunes turned late in 2019 when, on 2 December 2019, he was appointed captain of India’s Under-19 team for the 2020 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup in South Africa and for the preceding tour of South Africa. After his appointment he described the World Cup as a major opportunity to make an impression and highlighted the benefits of having played together as a balanced unit.
