Riyan Parag, the young Indian cricketer was recently getting trolled for his YouTube search history as it featured searches – “Ananya Pandey hot, Sara Ali Khan hot,” etc. He accidentally revealed his search history while live streaming on YouTube.
Riyan Parag had a great IPL 2024 as it was the best IPL of his career, he scored 573 runs in 15 matches which included 4 fifties and he was the highest scorer for his IPL team Rajasthan Royals. He recently gave an interview in which he said that he has no idea as to when but he is sure that he will certainly play for the country one day.
In his words, “At some point, you’ll have to take me, right? So that is my belief, I’m going to play for India. I don’t really care when. Whether it’s the next tour, whether it’s a tour in six months, whether it’s a tour in one year… I don’t really put my thoughts behind when I should play. That is the selector’s job, that is other people’s job.”
Riyan Parag also talked about his rough seasons in the IPL and said, “I had a lot of rough seasons, more than (the) nice ones and I feel having that constant belief in yourself, that you actually belong in this level, that you can actually do things that you (had) dreamt of, has been a constant and that will stay throughout. What you saw this year in the IPL is how I play domestic cricket. I take the onus up to myself, I take the expectations, I take the burden upon myself to deliver and that is why I play the best. I was not doing that in the IPL. I was taking way too much pressure, keeping my expectations way too high and not doing the basic things right.”
He concluded with, “That is what I figured (that) I had to do this year; of playing at my favourite position as well, No 4. I was like, okay, ‘I do this at domestic cricket, this is the same thing I’m going to do in IPL and let’s see how it goes’. It worked out perfectly.”
Do you think that Riyan Parag will get to play for the country?
