Watch: Riyan Parag is in the middle of a tremendous T20 batting patch, and is making sure the world is taking notice of it.
Assam captain Riyaan Parag scored 490 runs in 8 innings at 122.50 with a strike rate of 139 and is currently on the run list ofSyed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2023 standing on top. His six of his 39 are also the most.
Though there are no centuries in the list, he has scored 7 fifties in a single attempt, which is the longest consecutive half-century series in T20 cricket.
After scoring an unbeaten half-century against Bengal on October 31, it was his seventh consecutive unbeaten run and Riyan was jubilant at the occasion.
He turned towards the pavilion and pointed at her as if to say: “No one else here is as good as me. I’m on another level.”
Some believe this reaction stemmed from a problematic remark by one of the commentators on air, who referred to Assam players as “second-class citizens” in front of Bengal players. However, it is unclear how Riyan learned of the comment on the scene.
Assam are currently second in Group B, having won five of their seven matches. They have 20 points, lower than Kerala, who have won six of their seven games. Ryan’s strike rate of 189 in this tournament is his third highest among players with over 200 runs.
Liyan is known for her confidence and outspokenness. He said in an interview last year, “He doesn’t like to give himself credit, but he can be the best finisher in India,” a statement that was taken by many as overconfidence by some. . .
In the IPL, Ryan showed a lot of potential but did not have a memorable 2023 season with an average of 13 and a strike rate of 118 in 7 matches.
