There were times when the fans used to question the Rajasthan Royals management for continuously backing right-handed batsman Riyan Parag despite his poor form. Parag also faced a lot of backlash from the fans and was trolled on social media. However, Riyan has come a long way and in the present time he is placed in the second spot in the list of top run scorers and is giving tough competition to veteran batsman Virat Kohli. Parag has currently scored 318 runs from seven games at a strike rate of 161.42 and has smashed three half-centuries so far. Riyan Parag Six Video: Watch Rajasthan Royals Batter Hit Multiple Big-Shots to Noor Ahmad During RR vs GT IPL 2024 Match

However, if Riyan Parag gets a chance to make a place in the side, anyone deserving playing will surely have to sacrifice his place in the squad.
