Riyan Parag was in bad condition for 3 days, gathered strength for the match like this

IPL 2024: In every IPL season, eyes are on who among the great players will show their talent this time too. Apart from this, everyone's eyes are also on which new player will attract attention. But it rarely happens that in the new season a player starts showing his magic, who was failing in every previous season and was constantly being mocked and criticized. Similar is the story of Riyan Parag in IPL 2024, who played an excellent innings against Delhi Capitals despite battling illness.

In the match played in Jaipur on Thursday 28 March, Rajasthan Royals defeated Delhi Capitals by 12 runs. Rajasthan got this victory on the basis of Riyan Parag's memorable inning of 84 runs. When young right-handed batsman Riyan Parag came to the crease, the score was 30 runs and 2 wickets had fallen, while the third wicket had also fallen in front of him at the score of 36. Despite this, Rajasthan scored 185 runs and the reason for this was Ryan.

Ryan was dependent on painkillers

This 22 year old young batsman from Assam had scored 84 runs in just 45 balls, out of which 25 runs were scored in the last over. These 25 runs proved to be the most decisive. In such a situation, after the victory, he was declared the player of the match and here he told how he played this innings despite facing difficult circumstances.

Ryan told that he was ill for the last 3 consecutive days and was lying in bed. Riyan Parag told that it was difficult for him to even get up and he had to manage his work by taking painkillers. He felt relieved that he could play in this match and contribute to the victory.

After all, Ryan lived up to the trust

Riyan Parag has been with Rajasthan Royals since IPL 2019. Then Rajasthan bought him at the base price of Rs 20 lakh and retained him for 3 consecutive years. He kept getting opportunities continuously but his performance was never as per expectations. After this, in the mega auction held before the 2022 season, Rajasthan again bet on him and spent a huge amount of Rs 3.80 crore. Then he could not do anything special for two consecutive seasons but Rajasthan decided to retain him. Now in this season Ryan has finally shown his ability. Ryan had played an innings of 43 runs in the first match also.
