In the eliminator match of the Indian Premier League 2024, Royal Challengers Bangalore were defeated by Rajasthan Royals by four wickets and made their place in the second qualifier of this fantastic tournament. Let us tell you, to win this match, Rajasthan Royals had to score 173 runs in 20 overs and Riyan Parag played an important inning of 36 runs for the team with the help of 2 fours and 2 sixes in 26 balls.

Veteran player Ravichandran Ashwin put forth his opinion on this innings of Riyan Parag. Riyan Parag is the first IPL player to score more than 550 runs in a season while batting at number four. Riyan Parag’s performance in the last few editions was quite disappointing and many people believed that Rajasthan should release him before the 2024 season. However, the franchise expressed confidence in him and entrusted him with batting at number four this season.

Talking about Riyan Parag on Jio Cinema, Ravichandran Ashwin said, ‘My expectations from Riyan Parag are very high. He is a top class player. I always praise Riyan Parag and Yashasvi Jaiswal. I can say that you are still seeing the early days of both these batsmen. That is why I am very excited to see this group of young players.’

I am very happy for Sanju Samson: Ravichandran Ashwin

Ravichandran Ashwin said about Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson, ‘If you talk about Sanju Samson, he is scoring runs at a strike rate of 165 which is really a very good thing. I am very happy to see that Sanju Samson has made his place in the Indian World Cup team. He is really a very good player and this group is also great.’

Now Rajasthan Royals have to play a match against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the second qualifier. Whichever team wins the second qualifier will confirm its place in the final. Let us tell you, Kolkata Knight Riders have made their place in the final of Indian Premier League 2024. The final match of IPL 2024 will be played on 26 May at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
