"Tu 4 number pe khelega. Na aage, na peeche" this was Sanju's message to Parag before the season. Sanju suggested that Parag needed stability to find his best form.
With Padikkal moving to LSG, Samson secured the number 3 position, and Parag moved to number 4. With a consistent run of games, Parag found the beast form he is currently in.
How Parag transformed his batting form?

Despite many fans advocated for his inclusion in India's T20 World Cup squad, he missed out, with Dube being selected instead.
