Riyan Parag, the batting-all-rounder who has been retained by Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2023 blasted 78 runs off just 28 deliveries against Hyderabad in the ongoing Ranji Trophy. The right-handed batter smashed the bowlers all around the park to put his team ahead in the match. Parag played with a strike rate close to 300 in the match and looked utterly dangerous while he lasted on the crease.
Most of Riyan Parag’s runs came from huge sixes and glorious fours in this inning. He was relentless in his destructive knock of 78 off 28. Twitter users are claiming that Riyan Parag has shown his own theory in cricket. They are naming his brand of cricket the Paragball Theory. A name which is a bit inspired by the Bazball Theory, which England applies in Test cricket.
Riyan Parag came on to the crease when Assam had lost two wickets on the score of just 29 runs in the second inning of the match. He was unfazed by the pressure and demonstrated a class of shots which showed his mettle as a batter. Parag’s 78 off 28 with a strike rate of 275 has helped Assam to be on the top of the game.
Assam was getting behind in the game as they were dismissed for just 205 runs in the first inning, and Hyderbad had managed to post 209 runs on the board. However, Riyan Parag’s fiery knock of 78 off 28 has put Assam on the top in the match. He has also taken 4 wickets in the match.
Rajasthan Royals will be expecting the same kind of fireworks from Riyan Parag in the upcoming IPL 2023.
