Indian cricket team’s young all-rounder Riyan Parag is the topic of discussion these days. The reason was his selection not only in the T20 but also in the ODI team for the Sri Lanka tour. When Parag was selected for this tour, many questions arose in the minds of fans and former cricketers.

But the kind of performance Riyan Parag gave against Sri Lanka in the first T20 match held at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium on 27 July might have given some answers. Parag scored only 7 runs in 6 balls in this match, but took three wickets in 1.2 overs in bowling.

On the other hand, now a big statement has come from former Team India veteran all-rounder Irfan Pathan regarding Riyan Parag. Pathan says that Parag is going to get more opportunities in Team India in the coming times due to his bowling ability.

You will see Riyan Parag getting many chances due to his bowling ability. As a top-order batsman, not many in the country have the ability to roll their arm over. This is where Riyan Parag will get an extra advantage, and rightly so.
