In the ongoing clash between Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati on Tuesday, RR all-rounder Riyan Parag achieved a significant milestone by surpassing 500 runs in the current IPL season.

This marks the first time in his IPL career since his debut in 2019 that Riyan Parag has reached the 500-run milestone in the cash-rich league. Prior to this season, his best performance came in 2022, where he amassed 183 runs.

Riyan Parag achieves staggering milestone

Over the course of the first five IPL seasons, he had accumulated a total of 600 runs. However, in the current season alone, he has surpassed the 500-run mark, making it a standout season for the Assam-based cricketer.

Parag has displayed excellent form throughout IPL 2024, emerging as the sixth-leading run-scorer of the season with over 500 runs, maintaining an impressive average of over 60 and a strike rate exceeding 150 in 13 matches. This season marks a redemption for the Assam all-rounder following his previous struggles in the tournament.

While he has been a consistent performer in domestic cricket, Parag had faced challenges in fulfilling his potential in the IPL until this season. Nonetheless, the right-handed batter's consistent performances have earned him the trust of the RR team management.

Playing the all-important role in Rajasthan Royals' middle order, Parag has been instrumental in turning matches around for his team. Deployed regularly at number four by the RR management this season, he has responded effectively. Alongside skipper Sanju Samson, Parag has been important in stabilizing RR's middle-order batting lineup.
