When the Rajasthan Royals team is selected, five batsmen, five bowlers, and one Riyan Parag are kept in it. This is the meme by which Ryan Parag is trolling on social media. And he is continuously receiving criticism.Â
A large number of us criticized Riyan Parag. Said that he is a burden on his team. Someone from his family is in management. Perhaps that is why Rajasthan Royals keep giving him preference over all other players.
Riyan Parag's Record-breaking Century in 56 ballsÂ
Many allegations were made against Riyan Parag and many things were said. Riyan Parag has now shown the threat of his bat in first class cricket. He scored the second-fastest century in the history of Ranji cricket. The first century in 2016 was in the name of Rishabh Pant.
This is exciting for the fans of Rajasthan Royals and also for the fans of Riyan Parag. Riyan Parag is playing the way it is in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy or Ranji Trophy. Considering his all-round ability, he may get a chance to enter some format of Team India in the future.
Riyan Parag's Spectacular Captain's Knock
With a century on 56 balls, Riyan Parag's innings was made special by his aggressive play. The team made a very small score. There was probably a follow-on after the first innings. After this Riyan Parag came to bat. He was the captain of Assam.Â
While captaining Assam, he played an innings of 155 runs in 87 balls and hit 11 fours and 12 sixes. His strike rate was 178.16 and it was fantastic in itself. Very few cricketers have batted at this strike rate in Ranji cricket in India.

| Rishabh Pant | 82 |
If you score runs at a strike rate of 180 before getting out and batting like this, then you deserve praise. His team went out on a very small score. But Riyan alone took the team forward and that is why today we are worrying so much about him as it should be.
