Fans Hail Riyan Parag After His Blistering Knock Against Gujarat Titans
Rajasthan Royals, captained by Sanju Samson, lost the toss and were asked to bat first by Gujarat Titans, led by Shubman Gill. Opening batsmen Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler started cautiously, with Jaiswal showing some restrained aggression. However, Gujarat Titans’ pacer Umesh Yadav struck early, dismissing Jaiswal, who continues to struggle with his form.
In a smart move, Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill brought in the talented spinner Rashid Khan after the dismissal of a key batsman. Rashid Khan lived up to expectations by getting rid of the previous match’s centurion, Jos Buttler. With Rajasthan Royals’ top order faltering, captain Sanju Samson and Riyan Parag came together at the crease.
After a subdued performance against the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Riyan Parag was determined to make amends on Wednesday. He unleashed a barrage of powerful shots against the Gujarat Titans bowlers, leaving them scrambling for answers. Meanwhile, his captain Sanju Samson held the innings together, providing stability amidst Parag’s onslaught.
On Wednesday, the fielding performance of Gujarat Titans left much to be desired, with multiple dropped catches and frequent misfields marring their display at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.
Despite the below-par fielding, Riyan Parag’s explosive innings against GT propelled him to the second position on the list of top run-scorers in IPL 2024. The Rajasthan Royals batter now sits just below the legendary Virat Kohli in the race for the prestigious Orange Cap.
Meanwhile, social media has been buzzing with reactions from the fans to Riyan Parag’s stellar knock. Check out the reactions of the fans here:
