In a remarkable comeback, Riyan Parag scored 90 runs off just 50 balls for the Rajasthan Royals during their match against the Delhi Capitals in Jaipur. After the team faced an early collapse, losing both openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi within the first two overs, Parag partnered with Dhruv Jurel to stabilize the innings. Their century partnership was crucial, and Parag later added another 50-run stand with Ravindra Jadeja. Despite falling to Mitchell Starc in the 17th over, Parag's innings helped RR post a total of 225/6. His performance came in the wake of a vaping controversy that had placed him under scrutiny, but he silenced his critics with this impactful knock. Ravichandran Ashwin, a former star of the Royals, took to social media to commend Parag, stating, 'Agree or not, Riyan Parag is a special player.' This match marked a significant moment for Parag, showcasing his ability to perform under pressure.
