Riyan Parag REVEALS Being on Painkillers After Heroics During RR vs DC IPL 2024 Match

Jaipur: Young Riyan Parag was the star of the show for the Rajasthan Royals as he had a night to remember in Jaipur on Thursday when Rajathan Royals took on the Delhi Capitals. Parag hit a breathtaking 84 off 45 balls to help the Royals post 185 for five in 20 overs, which turned out to be enough against the Capitals. Following the win, Parag revealed that he was on painkillers as he was not keeping well. He also admitted that it was on the day of the match that he could finally get up.

“I have worked very hard, the last 3 days I was in bed, I was on painkillers, I just got up today and I’m very happy,” Parag said.

Claiming that his mother has been through a lot of struggle over the past 3-4 years, Parag said he knows how good a player he is no matter how much he scores.

“They are settled, mom is here, she has seen the struggle, the last 3-4 years. I know what my opinion is about myself. That does not change regardless of whether I get a zero or not. That’s a lot to do with the type of season as well, I had a great domestic season and that helps. Someone in the top four has to play the 20 overs, the wicket was keeping low and stopping, in the first game Sanju bhayya did it,” he added.

Meanwhile, the Royals won the match by 12 runs to make it two out of two thus far. Despite the win, RR find themselves behind CSK in the points table.
