Rajasthan Royals batter Riyan Parag has been dropped from the playing XI in the ongoing game against Chennai Super Kings. Over the years, his selection in the team has always been a matter of discussion. Parag made his debut for the 2008 winners in 2019 and has played 50 games. In this phase, the right-hander has 556 runs at a poor average of 16.35 including two fifties.
Meanwhile, in the ongoing game, the 2018 U19 World Cup winner has been dropped to the impact substitute category. With RR batting first after losing the toss, it is quite evident that Parag might not play a single role in the game unless the team faces a batting collapse. The likes of Adam Zampa might come into play as the Royals have opted for only three overseas players.
“We would have liked to bat first,” says Samson. “Important to keep up the momentum. Always a pleasure to come to Chepauk and play against CSK and Mahi bhai. A few changes with the impact rule – Boult misses out because of a niggle.”
RR bat-first XI: Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson (capt & wk), Devdutt Padikkal, Shimron Hetmyer, Dhruv Jurel, R Ashwin, Jason Holder, Kuldeep Sen, Sandeep Sharma, Yuzvendra Chahal
Substitutes: Riyan Parag, KM Asif, Donovan Ferreira, Adam Zampa, Joe Root

Rest as he has to play next 5 seasons as well. Takes effort to fail in each and every match

DDP against quality CSK spinners lol. Even though Riyan hasn't done anything yet still he is a better middle order batters than Padikkal
