Riyan Parag, the 20-year-old cricketer from Assam, believes he can be India’s next top finisher in the coming years.
On ‘Red Bull’s Greatness Starts Here,’ Parag stated, “I don’t want to praise myself too much, but I think I can be the best finisher not just for Rajasthan Royals but for India in years to come. I have got the skill-set, I’ve got the all-rounder abilities and not just batting, fielding and bowling as well. Yes, I’ve got a lot to work on and I’ve got to be consistent. I’ve got to work a lot on a lot of areas but I firmly believe that I can do it for the Rajasthan Royals team and the country as well.”
Parag claimed that captaining his home state of Assam was a proud occasion for him, and that he wants to emulate former Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni.
He said, “It was very special. I captained the Mushtaq Ali team last year and this year as well. I always think of myself as a captain, even when I’m not captaining the side, and I always think about my game like that. So being the official captain of the state team was a very humbling and big moment. I don’t want to say like MS, but I try to copy MS a bit in that factor. But yeah, I’m the cool one. I’m not very aggressive.”
