"Someone in the top four has to play the 20 overs, the wicket was keeping low and stopping, in the first game Sanju bhayya did it. I have worked very hard, the last 3 days I was in bed, I was on painkillers, I just got up today and I'm very happy."-Riyan Parag talked in the post game talk.Everyone was impressed by Parag’s mature demeanor during the talk, even captain Sanju Samson. If Parag keeps up this level of play, Rajasthan could do really well this season, especially with two wins already under their belt.
