Rajasthan Royals’ Riyan Parag on Thursday entertained the crowd at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur with a blazing knock of 84 off 45 deliveries during an IPL 2024 match against Delhi Capitals (DC). Parag hit seven fours and six sixes during his knock that helped RR post 185/5.
Rajasthan Royals had got off to a shaky start after being put into bat by DC. The Royals Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson and Jos Buttler within the first eight overs, but then Parag did the star turn with a magnificent knock for the Royals. Parag’s knock comes after he had scored 43 off 29 balls in the last match against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).
