Ryan Parag is the Rajasthan Royals player who won the auction with high hopes this time. But he has not been able to live up to expectations so far this season. He has scored just 48 runs at an average of 9.60 from the six matches he has played so far this season. Fans have been urging the Rajasthan Royals to exclude Parag from the playing XI in the wake of his poor performances. But there are indications that the chances are slim (with Rajasthan excluding Parag from the team).
Rajasthan Royals won the match by 7 runs against Kolkata Knight Riders yesterday. Paraga were bowled out for 5 off 3 balls. Speaking after winning the match, their fast bowling coach Lasith Malinga was asked whether Rajasthan were worried about Parag’s poor batting form. But he replied that he was not worried about his form.

Malinga pointed out that Parag has the ability to win matches on his own and added that he is confident that he will shine for the team in the coming matches. Despite his poor performance in the first few matches of the season, Malinga’s words suggest that Rajasthan will not dismiss Parag soon.

“I’m not worried about Parag’s form. We know Ryan has the ability to win games on his own. He’s only played five or ten balls in every game, so he’s not getting enough chances.
“The fact that he doesn’t get a lot of chances to bat means that our top order is playing well. He’s definitely going to do well for the team when needed. He’s still young and needs to prove himself. I’m sure he will do a lot in the upcoming matches.” Malinga said and stopped.
That was the decisive factor in the match, Sanju said openly;
