The 19-year-old Meerut-born cricketer was roped in by SRH in the IPL 2020 player auctions held in December last year, and the youngster is waiting to rub shoulders with Pandey in the IPL.
Garg has been in some good form over the last couple of years, and was rightfully rewarded for his top performances when he was named the captain of the India U-19 team for the 2020 ICC U-19 World Cup in South Africa.

The youngster led India all the way to the summit clash, where they unfortunately fell to a 3-wicket loss against Bangladesh U-19. However, despite the loss in the final, Garg reckoned that leading the side in the tournament was a great learning opportunity for him.
As for his short term goals, Garg is focussed on improving his fitness levels everyday. The youngster has idolized Sachin Tendulkar from a very young age, but apart from Tendulkar, one current Indian team cricketer who has had a big influence on the youngster’s career is Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

And, given that Garg will partner Bhuvneshwar at SRH in the IPL, the youngster is keen to make the most of his opportunities with his senior statesman.
With the coronavirus pandemic bringing a screeching halt on live cricket across the world, the BCCI was also forced to delay the commencement of IPL 2020. However, Garg is keeping himself fit and match ready, for when the opportunity comes to make his IPL debut, the youngster is waiting to grab it with both hands.
