RR vs RCB IPL 2023: Why is Riyan Parag Not Playing Today’s IPL 2023 Match? Check RR Playing XI

In match number 60 of the Tata IPL 2023, the Rajasthan Royals are hosting the Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium. RCB won the toss and elected to bat on a dry wicket. The Rajasthan Royals made a surprising change in their lineup by replacing Trent Boult with Australian leg-spinner Adam Zampa. However, despite the alteration, they have not included Assam batter Riyan Parag, in the playing XI.

RR vs RCB Match: Why is Riyan Parag Not Playing Today’s IPL 2023 Match?

For six matches in a row now, Rajasthan Royals haven’t included the Assam right-hand young batter Riyan Parag in their playing 11. Parag has been awful this season yet again as he has scored only 58 runs in 6 innings at a minuscule strike rate of 107.41. He has been given a lot of chances in the past seasons as well, but Parag has only been consistent with his inconsistencies. The right-hander, however, is among the substitutes for the RR vs RCB Match and could come into the eleven in the second innings (if needed) when RR comes out to bat. Here’s what RR’s skipper Sanju Samson said at the toss,

“Would have batted first as well. The pressure is on, we are treating this as a semi-final. To be honest, we have had just one flat game against Gujarat, the rest of the games we have played competitive games. There are a few niggles that players carry through the tournament, but the support staff have done a good job managing that. One change for today, Zampa comes in for Boult.“

Riyan parag IPL 2023 Price

Despite not having played at the international level, Riyan Parag, a talented batsman from Assam, managed to secure a significant amount of money in the IPL 2023 auction, surpassing the earnings of many Indian cricketers. During the IPL 2019 auction, he was acquired by the Royals for his base price of INR 20 lakh. However, in the IPL 2022 mega auction, his value seemed to have increased as he received bids from CSK, GT, and RR. Eventually, the Royals made a substantial investment of INR 3.8 crore to secure the services of this promising young player from Assam.
