‘Ye pakka RR wala hi hai na’ – Fans praise Assam skipper Riyan Parag after his iconic century against Chhattisgarh

In the ongoing Ranji Trophy, Assam allrounder and skipper Riyan Parag has captured the spotlight with an extraordinary performance, etching his name in the tournament’s history. Parag’s brilliance was on full display as he achieved the remarkable feat of scoring the second-fastest century in the prestigious Ranji Trophy.

Facing Chhattisgarh in the opening match of the 2024 season, Parag showcased his exceptional batting skills by reaching the century mark in just 56 balls. This feat is particularly commendable given the context of the match, where Parag had limited support from his teammates. Despite the challenging circumstances, he went on to score a stunning 155 runs off 87 balls, leaving a lasting impact on the game.

The significance of Parag’s achievement becomes even more apparent when comparing it to the historical performances in the Ranji Trophy. Rishabh Pant‘s blazing century in 48 balls during the 2016-17 season remains the fastest, but Parag’s feat places him right behind Pant in the record books. He surpasses the previous second-fastest century, held by Naman Ojha of Madhya Pradesh, who achieved the milestone in 69 balls during the 2014–15 season.

Can Assam defend 86 runs to win the game?

In the broader context of the match, Chhattisgarh posted a total of 327/10 in their first inning, with skipper Amandeep Khare leading the charge with an impressive 116 runs off 218 balls. In response, Assam found themselves struggling as they were bundled out for a modest 159 runs, facing the follow-on.

However, the storyline took a remarkable turn when Riyan Parag stepped up to the plate in the second inning. His breathtaking innings of 155 runs off just 87 balls not only showcased his brilliance but also provided a glimmer of hope for Assam in an otherwise challenging situation. Parag’s exceptional performance in the ongoing Ranji Trophy has undoubtedly established him as a rising star and a force to be reckoned with in Indian cricket.
