For the white-ball series against Sri Lanka, Riyan Parag was named to the Indian side, and it was his ball rather than his bat that attracted attention. Following the show’s finale, Parag shared a photo of himself on social media, tagging it with the phrase “at peace” and relishing in the silence. But even more than the message, internet users have laughed heartily at his colleague Dhruv Jurel’s sly remark.
Both Parag and Jurel are IPL players with the Rajasthan Royals, and they both made their debuts for India. In the T20I series against Zimbabwe, Parag made his white-ball debut, while Jurel made his during India’s Test series against England. “Ha bhai dikh gyi rolex” (his potential flaunting his Rolex watch was taken note of) was Jurel’s comment on Assam batter’s post, demonstrating their friendship off the pitch.
Here’s Parag’s latest post on Instagram:

Regarding Riyan Parag as the match winner, Virat Kohli
Parag received the ODI debut cap from his idol, Virat Kohli, in relation to his performance in the just finished T20I and ODI series against Sri Lanka. In addition, Kohli declared that the 22-year-old would eventually help the Indian side win games. Even though he was unimpressive at the bat, managing just 15 runs, he showed off his ball-handling prowess by taking three wickets.

In six Twenty20 Internationals for India, the right-hander has amassed 57 runs in four innings. With his heroics for the Royals in the 2024 Indian Premier League, Parag turned heads with his ability to bat at the vital number four spot and score 573 runs in 15 innings at a 52.09 average and 149.22 strike rate.
