Riyan Parag, who plays for Rajasthan Royals and is known for his aggressive attitude, led his team Assam to victory against Jammu and Kashmir in the quarterfinals of the Vijay Hazare Trophy.
Chasing 350, Assam achieved the target in just 46.1 overs with the help of Riyan's innings.
Ryan Parag scored 174 runs at a strike rate of 150, contributed significantly to the team's victory
Batting first, Jammu put 350 runs on the board in 50 overs with the help of centuries from Shubham Khajuria and Henan Nazir. Apart from this, Faizal Rashid also scored a half-century from his team.
It seemed that this target would prove difficult for the Assam team. Because the team that came to chase the target lost the wickets of both their openers for just 45 runs.
But after that, a 277-run partnership between Riyan Parag and Rishav Das, who played for Rajasthan Royals, turned the whole game. The most special in this was the innings of Ryan, who scored 174 runs before getting out in just 116 balls. During this, he hit 12 sixes and 12 fours. His runs came at a strike rate of 150. Due to this, his team chased such a big target with 23 balls remaining.
He has done a commendable performance in this tournament so far and has rocked with the bat as well as the ball.
The special thing is that in this tournament, it was the third century from the bat of Rajasthan Royals batsman Riyan Parag. He is now the third-highest run scorer in this tournament. He has so far scored 537 runs at a strike rate of 123 and an average of 76. Also has taken 9 wickets.
He has staked his claim for his place in Team India with this performance. The Indian team is in dire need of a batting all-rounder who can play above number 6 and is also a wicket-taker.
