Riyan Parag Aims for IPL 2024 Resurgence After Domestic Success

Riyan Parag, who recently impressed with back-to-back centuries in the Ranji Trophy, is determined to make a mark in the upcoming IPL 2024 after facing criticism for his performance in the previous edition. The 22-year-old has been practicing rigorously and is focused on improving his white-ball game.

“I am expressing myself more on the field now. My mindset is to hit the first ball, for a six if it is in my range and I don’t mind getting out for playing that shot. During the off-season, I fine-tuned my game with my dad Parag Das and Zubin Bharucha. I always had the shots but I realized that I need to practice a lot. Cricket is all about muscle memory. So I try to be more repetitive in practice and try to implement that in-game situation,” Parag stated.

Expressing his excitement for IPL 2024, Parag emphasized his goal of translating his domestic form into the IPL. He is open to batting up the order, a role he has successfully fulfilled for Assam, and is determined to make a significant impact in the upcoming tournament.

“The IPL is going to be huge for me. I am just thinking of carrying my domestic form into the IPL. I know it is a different tournament, the bowlers are more skillful but my skill doesn’t go away. I might be batting up the order this time in the IPL. I have always batted at number four for Assam, and if you do something consistently you are tuned in for that,” Parag added.

Despite facing trolling and criticism in the past, Parag remains focused on his goal of contributing to Rajasthan Royals’ success in the IPL. He is determined to prove himself and help his team win their second IPL trophy.
