IPL 2020: Key uncapped player for each franchise

#6 Riyan Parag (Rajasthan Royals)

Can Parag step up for RR in IPL 2020?

Rajasthan Royals are known to recognize talent early and rope in youngsters to nurture and make them superstars. Sanju Samson and James Faulkner are the two biggest examples where unknown commodities have turned out to be an integral part of the team. Riyan Parag is such cricketer and he has already shown glimpses of what he brings to the table for the Jaipur-based franchise.

The 18-year-old cricketer was picked by RR at his base price of INR 20 lakhs ahead of the 2019 edition of IPL. Parag played 7 matches last season and scored an impressive 50 batting in the lower middle-order. He is a dominant batsman who bowls a bit of leg-spin and is ideal to have at number 6 or 7 with seniors like Stokes and Samson batting above him. Having an extra spin-bowling option with bigger boundaries of Sawai Maan Singh stadium will always serve the team well.
