This season, Riyan Parag‘s time has come after years of mockery and criticism. He has become an important batsman for the Rajasthan Royals (RR), who will take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the IPL 2024 playoff elimination match. Tom Kohler-Cadmore, an English player who replaced Jos Buttler in the starting lineup, believes that teammate Riyan Parag is going to be a great player. Riyan Parag, in Tom Kohler Cadmore’s opinion, will play for India for a very long time.
Indian Premier League 2024 hitter Tom Kohler Cadmore of RR commended teammate Riyan Parag for his incredible return to form. Parag has been having an amazing run in the current T20 extravaganza, ranking fourth in the season thus far for run scoring.
Throughout 12 innings, the right-hander has amassed 531 runs at an average of 59 and a strike percentage of 152.58, with four consecutive 50-run games. In 2022, Parag set a career high with 183 runs in 14 innings. His stats this season have been incredible. About his teammate, Kohler Cadmore said that Parag’s journey was inspirational and predicted that he would play a significant role for India going forward.
Jos Buttler’s absence trained RR’s Riyan Parag
RR, who have won eight of the first nine games of the current season, have had an incredible start to the competition. The Sanju Samson-led team has, however, dropped their last four games in a row, and to make matters worse, their star opener Jos Buttler has returned to England for national team duty.
I am sure he’ll play a lot for India, said Kohler Cadmore for Riyan Parag
The Rajasthan Royals coach spoke about Riyan Parag during the pregame. He said that the player’s abilities were impressive, as he was also the team’s age cap holder in between seasons. Riyan’s play this year seemed to be a testament to his durability for Rajasthan, and if he keeps up this kind of work, I do not doubt that he will become India’s next great batsman and perform much better for the country.
Very inspirational. I’ve followed his journey a little bit from afar. He’s had a couple of tough years; he’s had a lot of abuse, and he’s had a lot of people kind of hating on him. For him to be able to come out this year and show everyone actually how good he is—the performance, the pressure he was under—to be able to do it, I think we are seeing a future star in the making. I am sure he’ll play a lot for India,” said Kohler Cadmore in the pre-match chat
