In the upcoming Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2023, Assam batter Riyan Parag is currently in outstanding form. At a strike rate of 189.19 and an average of 122.50, he has amassed 490 runs throughout eight innings, making him the current top run scorer across the Indian domestic league.
During his last seven innings, the 21-year-old has reached the half-century milestone. Following his 45 against Odisha to start the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2023, he scored 61 against Bihar, 76* against Services, 53* against Sikkim, 76 against Chandigarh, 72 vs Himachal, 57* against Kerala, and 50* against Bengal in the T20 tournament.
The record for the most consecutive T20 half-centuries, which was jointly held by former India batter Virender Sehwag along with David Warner, Jos Buttler, and a few others, was broken by Parag with his sixth consecutive fifty. Cricket fans’ reactions to a recent video featuring the batter stating that no other player during the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2023 is a measure for him have been varied, despite the fact that his outstanding form has earned him a lot of praise.
Riyan Parag’s incredible statistics
Parag has scored 1420, 1688, and 2023 runs in 25 first-class contests, 48 List A games, and 96 T20 matches thus far. In first-class cricket, he holds an average of 32.27, in List A, it is 42.20, and in T20s, it is 30.65. In the T20 format, he has amassed 18 fifties, including a high of 77 not out, and a strike rate of 142.76.
The batting all-rounder is not just a skilled batsman but also a competent part-time spinner. In first-class games, 50 games in List A, and 41 T20 matches, he has taken 49 scalps.
However, Parag’s performance in the Indian Premier League (IPL) has been dismal. With an average of 16.22 as well as a strike rate of 123.97, he has amassed 600 runs in 54 games while playing for the Rajasthan Royals (RR). He has taken four wickets with an economy of 10.70 with the ball.

He is ahead. RR just need to give him 10 matches at no.4 and then see what he can do. I was and I am very confident that he will be a superstar in future.
