Riyan Parag, a young Assamese cricketer who enjoyed great success with the India U19 team and Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the last three seasons of the Indian Premier League, was acquired by the pink franchise for INR 3.80 crores in the ongoing IPL 2022 mega auction.

Riyan Parag was spotted hitting luscious sixes on 11th March in RR’s official Social Media account. He was warming up in style ahead of the start of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season. The 15th edition of the league will certainly require Riyan Parag to put in more hours than he previously was. IPL 2022 is just around the corner, and Riyan Parag looks ready and mentally prepared to face any challenges that come his way. He has played shots all around the field, hitting massive sixes, playing technical shots and showing his master skills in the RR net sessions.

“Tick. Tick. Boom. ??”, Rajasthan Royals captioned the video.
