Riyan Parag‘s stellar performance in the IPL 2024 match against the Delhi Capitals has not only earned him accolades but also sparked discussions about his future in Indian cricket. The Rajasthan Royals‘ young talent displayed remarkable maturity and skill as he smashed an unbeaten 84 off just 45 balls, guiding his team to a competitive total of 185/5.
Parag’s innings was particularly impressive in the final over, where he demolished Delhi Capitals’ pacer Anrich Nortje, scoring 25 runs with a sequence of 4, 4, 6, 4, 6. His ability to find gaps and play calculated shots under pressure showcased his potential as a future star.
Irfan Pathan said
Former Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan went as far as to predict that Parag will play for Team India within the next two years. Pathan highlighted the importance of performing consistently in domestic cricket, noting that Parag’s success in the IPL is a result of his strong performances in domestic cricket.
In the next two years Riyan Parag is playing for India…,” Pathan said. “Don’t ever take Indian domestic cricket lightly, it’s for your own good. Look at Riyan Parag. He is performing well in the IPL straightaway cos he made tons of runs there,” he added.
Rajasthan Royals’ director of cricket, Kumar Sangakkara, praised Parag’s maturity and mentioned that the franchise saw great potential in him. Parag’s knock, coupled with his ability to handle pressure situations, has certainly put him in the spotlight as a player to watch out for in the future.
Parag’s performance against Delhi Capitals not only helped him earn the Player of the Match award but also propelled him to the top of the IPL 2024 batting charts. With a total of 127 runs in two matches, Parag has replaced Virat Kohli as the second-highest run-scorer in the tournament, just behind Heinrich Klaasen.
