Jaipur: Rajasthan Royals Cricket Director Kumar Sangakkara has praised the in-form Riyan Parag. He said that everyone can see his ability, but could not say that this young Indian deserves a place in the T20 World Cup team. 22-year-old Parag is only behind Virat Kohli in the list of players who have scored the most runs in this season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), he has scored 261 runs, in which his top score was 84 not out.
However, Parag’s innings of 76 runs in 48 balls went in vain as Gujarat Titans achieved the target of 196 runs in the last ball, breaking Rajasthan Royals’ four-match winning streak. When asked whether the Assam cricketer can be in the race for a place in the Indian team for this year’s T20 World Cup in West Indies and America, Sangakkara said, ‘I think everyone can see his ability. ‘

He further said- I think it is important for Ryan to focus on the Rajasthan team and this season, because his name will be considered for the T20 World Cup only after this. Sangakkara said- I think you should not look too far ahead into the future. As long as he keeps working hard, bats well, stays composed and continues to perform well, all good things will keep happening.
Gujarat Titans defeated Rajasthan Royals by 3 wickets in a thrilling match. In reply to Rajasthan’s 196 runs, Gujarat achieved this target in the last over. Gujarat had to score 15 runs in the last over. Avesh Khan came to bowl the last over for Rajasthan, but he was not successful in stopping Tewatia and Rashid Khan.
