After enduring years of trolling and criticism, Riyan Parag's moment has arrived this season. He has emerged as a key batter for the Rajasthan Royals (RR), who are set to play the eliminator of the playoffs of IPL 2024 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB).

English player Tom Kohler-Cadmore, who entered the playing XI as a replacement for Jos Buttler, has predicted that his teammate Riyan Parag is destined for greatness. Tom Kohler Cadmore believes that Riyan Parag will play for India for many years.

Huge praise for Riyan Parag

“Very inspirational actually. I've followed his journey a little bit from afar. He's had a couple of tough years, he's had a lot of abuses and he's had a lot of people kind of hating on him. For him to be able to come out this year and show everyone actually how good he is, the performance, the pressure he was under ... to be able to do it, I think we are seeing a future star in the making. I am sure he'll play a lot for India,” said Kohler Cadmore.

Parag has scored 531 runs in 12 innings, with an impressive average of 59 and a strike rate of 152.58, including four fifties. These numbers are remarkable compared to his previous best season in 2022, where he managed 183 runs in 14 innings.

In the absence of Jos Buttler who will be missing the playoffs because of the Pakistan series of England, Parag the top run getter of RR will have an extra duty to take his team to the finals of IPL 2024.  

Rajasthan Royals will face Royal Challengers Bengaluru at Ahmedabad on Wednesday, 22nd May on the eliminator game.
