Riyan Parag played a brilliant inning of 84 runs in 45 balls against Delhi Capitals. Riyan Parag & Eoin Morgan (Photo Source: In IPL 2024, Rajasthan Royals registered a spectacular win by 12 runs against Delhi Capitals in the last match. The hero of this victory of Rajasthan Royals is Riyan Parag. First the team was seen struggling while batting, then Riyan Parag took the team to 185 runs with his brilliant innings of 84* runs. Riyan Parag is seen in a different rhythm in IPL 2024. Cricket experts and fans are praising Riyan Parag a lot. Former England player Eoin Morgan has given a big statement praising Ryan Parag. Eoin Morgan says Riyan Parag is learning from his mistakes. He is still very young in terms of cricket – Eoin Morgan In the first match of IPL 2024, Riyan Parag scored 43 runs in 29 balls against Lucknow Super Giants. Then in the last match against Delhi Capitals, he played an unbeaten inning of 84 runs in 45 balls with the help of 7 fours and 6 sixes. Eoin Morgan while talking about Ryan Parag on GeoCinema said, ‘He is still very young in terms of cricket. Even though he has made mistakes over the years, he is proving that he is learning from them. It’s one thing to take hard work and dedication and discipline and saying different things, but it has to be opportunities presenting themselves.’ Eoin Morgan said a big thing about Rajasthan Royals Riyan Parag made his debut for Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2019. In the debut season, Riyan Parag scored 160 runs in 7 matches at an average of 32 and strike rate of 126.98. But then Riyan Parag’s performance in the next four seasons was very poor. Parag had scored runs at an average of 12.28, 11.62, 16.64 and 13 in the last four seasons. Despite poor performance, Rajasthan Royals kept faith in Riyan Parag. Eoin Morgan praised Rajasthan Royals management and said, ‘When it comes to the support and clarity given by Sanju Samson at the beginning of the tournament, it says a lot. We know how IPL teams make changes, especially when it comes to selecting the playing 11. But to come out before the season and make that statement, I think it’s a great call.
IPL 2024: “Runs are not scored by sitting in the dugout” – Wasim Jaffer and Tom Moody angry over Prithvi Shaw not getting a chance
Prithvi Shaw has not got a chance in the first two matches of IPL 2024. Prithvi Shaw. (Image Source: Twitter) Delhi Capitals has had a very poor start in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season. The team has lost its first two matches. After losing their opener against Punjab Kings in Mullanpur, Delhi faced defeat against Rajasthan at the Sawai Man Singh Stadium in Jaipur. Batsman Prithvi Shaw was not included in both the matches. Delhi chose Ricky Bhui in his place in the top order and gave a chance to Abhishek Porel in the lower middle order, but he did not get the results as expected. After these two matches, questions are being raised on the place of Ricky Bhui in the team, who has scored only 3 runs in the last two matches. Former cricketers Tom Moody and Wasim Jaffer are also surprised by Delhi’s decision to give a chance to two uncapped batsmen in place of international batsman Prithvi Shaw. Wasim Jaffer surprised when Prithvi Shaw did not get a chance in the playing XI On ESPNcricinfo, both Moody and Jaffer expressed their disappointment, saying that these decisions of Delhi do not make any sense. Tom Moody told ESPNcricinfo, “It makes no sense because you have an Indian international player sitting in the dugout. Yes, he has not performed as well as we expected in the IPL. But you can’t score from the dugout. Wasim Jaffer said, “Now that they have kept him with you and have not allowed him to go to the auction, I am surprised that they are not feeding him. He has played most of the season for Mumbai. So you can imagine he’s fit. I am surprised. Punishing him and then losing the game is not the way to proceed.” Shaw scored only 106 runs in 8 matches in the last season of the Indian Premier League. This was Shaw’s worst season in the tournament. Recently, Sourav Ganguly had also told why Prithvi Shaw is not getting a chance this season. Sauv Ganguly said that Prithvi Shaw is in the team, but he cannot be played in the middle order. Let us tell you, Prithvi Shaw has only opened his career so far, so DC does not want to play him in the middle order. Prithvi Shaw is an opening batsman. We have decided to open with Marsh and Warner and Ricky Bhui is a middle-order batsman. That’s why they bat at different positions.

I would like to defeat RCB even in my dreams: Gautam Gambhir Gautam Gambhir said on Star Sports: “The one team I wanted to beat every time, even in my dreams, was RCB. The second most high profile team of IPL and a dynamic team, which despite having Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers and Chris Gayle together, did not win anything, but still their attitude is such that they won everything.” Gambhir also highlighted three of KKR’s most memorable wins against RCB. The KKR mentor further added: “KKR’s three best wins so far against RCB – the first match of the IPL, the 140-run win against RCB off the back of Brendon McCullum’s 158-run innings. When RCB was all out for 49 runs. Century in 6 overs, probably the first time in IPL when 100 runs were scored in the first 6 overs. Whose credit goes to Chris Lynn and Sunil Narayan. Gautam Gambhir concluded: “We always knew that RCB are a very strong team, and probably the most aggressive batting unit with Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, what could be better than this. If I want one thing from my IPL career, the one thing I would love is to go on the cricket field again and beat RCB.” Watch the video here – ,@GautamGambhir thinks @RCBTweets have massively underachieved in the past despite having @imVkohli, @henrygayle and @ABdeVilliers17 Gambhir dreams of getting back on the field and beat Kohli & team yet again!
