Riyan Parag, the young and talented all-rounder from Assam, has once again showcased his exceptional batting skills with an effortless six over long-off in the ongoing Duleep Trophy match between India A and India D. The shot, which has been widely shared on social media, has left fans and experts in awe of Parag’s ability to hit the ball with power and precision.
Parag, who is representing India A in the tournament, played a crucial cameo of 39 runs off just 27 deliveries in the first innings. His innings was characterized by aggressive strokeplay, with the six over long-off being the highlight. The shot came off the bowling of Arshdeep Singh, who is known for his pace and accuracy.
Parag’s six has garnered widespread attention on social media, with fans and his IPL team, Rajasthan Royals, expressing their admiration for the shot. The official Twitter handle of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) shared the video of the six, captioning it as “That shot by Riyan Parag! It was the first 6 of India A’s innings.”
Rajasthan Royals, who have witnessed Parag’s big-hitting prowess firsthand in the IPL, also shared the video on their Twitter handle, praising the young batsman’s skills. “Riyan Parag, you beauty!” the caption read.
Parag’s performance in the Duleep Trophy comes after he missed out on a maiden Test call-up for the series against Bangladesh. However, his impressive form in the domestic tournament could put him back in contention for a place in the national team.
Parag made his white-ball debut for India earlier this year in July, playing in a T20I on the tour of Zimbabwe. He has since played six T20Is and one ODI for India, impressing the selectors with his aggressive batting style and ability to hit the ball cleanly.
Parag’s six in the Duleep Trophy is a testament to his talent and potential. The young batsman has shown that he has the ability to play at the highest level, and he will be one to watch in the years to come.
