In the first inning of the match against the Delhi Capitals, Riyan Parag scored 84 runs in 45 deliveries, assisting his team in amassing 185 runs. Former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan was clearly impressed by his knock.
The current Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 all-around player for the Rajasthan Royals, Riyan Parag, has been showing off his skills. In the Royals’ opening game of the season, the youthful player made an impression with his knock. He also stole the stage in their most recent matchup with the Delhi Capitals.
Pathan expressed his opinion on X, which was earlier known as Twitter, stating that he thought Parag would be playing for the Indian squad in the coming years. The fact that Parag’s outstanding play in the local circuit has allowed him to participate in the IPL further underscored the significance of doing well in domestic cricket, according to him. Pathan tweeted, “Riyan Parag is playing for India in the next two years.”
It’s important for your own well-being that you never take Indian domestic cricket lightly. Consider Riyan Parag. Since he scored a tonne of runs in the IPL right away, he is playing well there, according to Pathan.
In the next two years Riyan Parag is playing for India…
