GUWAHATI: Wearing flamboyance up his sleeve is not new to Riyan Parag and the youngster has even drawn criticism for that in the past. However, there's been a significant change in the talented Assam cricketer's approach to the game in the past couple of seasons that he is reaping the benefits of lately.
Batting at No. 4 for his state team in the domestic tournaments, Riyan was given the same batting position this season by the Rajasthan Royals' team management led by a calm and composed director of cricket in Kumar Sangakkara. Captained by an in-form Sanju Samson on the field has also given Riyan the needed comfort zone to perform well without having any pressure to suppress his natural free-flowing style of play.
