Riyan Parag was included in India’s squad for the white-ball series against Sri Lanka and the batter made people take notice of him with the ball rather than the bat. After the conclusion of the series, Parag uploaded a picture of himself on his social media handle enjoying the tranquillity and stating the same via captioning it as “at peace”. But more than the post, his colleague Dhruv Jurel’s cheeky comment has garnered hilarious reactions from the netizens.
Jurel and Parag play for Rajasthan Royals in the IPL and both players have debuted for India. While Jurel debuted during India’s Test series against England, Parag made his white-ball debut with the T20I series against Zimbabwe. In a testament to their camaraderie off the field, Jurel commented on Assam batter’s post saying “Ha bhai dikh gyi rolex” (his potential showing off his Rolex watch was taken notice of).
Here’s Parag’s latest post on Instagram:
Virat Kohli terms Parag as match winner
Speaking of Parag’s performance in the recently concluded T20I and ODI series against Sri Lanka, he was handed the ODI debut cap by his idol Virat Kohli. Moreover, Kohli even said that the 22-year-old would be a match-winner for the Indian team in the future. While he was underwhelming with the bat scoring just 15 runs, he impressed with three wickets showcasing his skills with the ball.
