Harsha Bhogle also showered praise on Tyagi
The young Indian pacer playing his first match picked up the wicket of Quinton De Kock in the first over of his maiden spell in the IPL 2020.
He bowled a bouncer that took the top edge of De Kock to be caught by Wicket-Keeper Jos Butter behind the stumps.
Renowned sports commentator Harsha Bhogle also showered huge praises on Tyagi commenting that it’s not bad if you are 19 years old and taking the wicket of an International player.
The 19-year-old pacer from Uttar Pradesh was leading the pace attack in the U-19 World Cup in South Africa earlier this year. He returned with 11 wickets including a game-changing 4/24 against Australia in the quarterfinal.
