Parag’s actions were captured on social media and he was brutally trolled by fans for showing his rog arrogance to his fans. However, in the same video, he is seen as signing a sign for the earthly man.
The impressive day of Liyan Parag
Riyan Parag had a good day with the bat as he scored 37 runs. The RR Captain also made an epic catch to dismiss the dangerous Shivam Duve.
Parag was also impressive in his captain, as his brave call came to a positive outcome. Despite the rest of Jofra Archer, he decided to give Tushar Deshpande and Sandeep Sharma the final two overs.
It was the final match of the season in Guwahati as the Royals of Rajasthan finally registered their first victory of the season. RR had lost the first two games of the season, but made a strong statement in this match with a strong victory over CSK.
RR registers the first victory of the season
The Rajasthan Royals hit first and scored 182-9 in 20 overs behind a belligerent knock from Natish Rana. Lana showed her class while batting at No. 3 and took on the CSK spinner. He hit 10 four and five sixes while knocking.
Skipper Riyan Parag tipped in with 37 important balls from 28 balls, but the remaining batters were unable to make a major contribution to the low order. Noor Ahmad, Khaleel Ahmed and Matheesha Pathirana picked up two wickets each for the CSK.
In response, Chennai was shaken early with Yahura Archer hitting at Lachin Rabindra’s wicket for the duck. However, skipper Ruthuraj Gaikwad held one end and kept the bad balls cleaned up.
However, he lacked support from the other end. Duve resembles a big knock, but Parag’s fantastic catch ended his stay in the crease. Gaiquad was finally fined and fined by Hasaranga for 44 balls.
Jadeja and Dhoni scored 45 runs to chase the final three overs, but CSK ran the target six times. After winning the first game of the season, it was their second consecutive loss.
