IPL2024: The Rajasthan Royals (RR) have Riyan Parag batting at number four. The discoveries were made by Sanju Samson prior to the game versus the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).
In Short
- Riyan Parag has only scored one fifty during the previous four seasons.
- In the IPL 2024, Parag will bat fourth for the Royals.
- Parag has amassed 600 runs in 54 IPL games.
Riyan Parag showcased a commendable batting performance, scoring 43 runs off just 29 balls. His innings was characterized by confident stroke play and smart shot selection, allowing him to maintain a healthy run rate throughout his time at the crease. Parag’s ability to find gaps in the field and rotate the strike effectively put pressure on the opposition bowlers.
For the Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, Riyan Parag will bat at No. 4. The revelations were made by RR captain Sanju Samson at the toss prior to the game on Sunday, March 24 at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).
“Parag will come in at No. 4. Coming back to Jaipur sends a positive vibe. A lot of youngsters in the team have become superstars in the last ten months, it’s great,” Samson said at toss.
When Parag dismantled the top bowlers in the game in 2019 for the Royals, he amazed everyone. He amassed 160 runs in 7 games at a strike-rate of 126.98, an average of 32, and a maximum score of 50.
However, ever since, Parag has had difficulty establishing himself against elite squads. Parag managed to achieve just one half-century in the final five IPL seasons, with his highest score being 56 not out.
In Indian domestic cricket, Parag has been an incredible asset to the Assam side, but he hasn’t been able to replicate that consistency in the IPL.
With 18 fifties to his credit, Parag has amassed 2043 runs at an average of 30.04 and a strike-rate of 142.17 in 98 T20 outings.
