Riyan Parag shows off his dance moves as Rajasthan Royals players celebrate Holi ahead of IPL 2025 [Watch]

Rajasthan Royals (RR) batter Riyan Parag showed off his dance moves during Holi celebrations on Friday (March 14) ahead of IPL 2025. Parag had a breakthrough season last year, scoring 573 runs in 15 games, and played a crucial role in RR reaching the playoffs. It earned him a contract extension with the franchise as they retained him ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction with a massive paycheque of ₹14 crore.

Parag also got a callup to the Indian ODI and T20I squads following a great run in IPL 2024. However, after performing well in a few games, Riyan suffered a shoulder injury following the T20 series against Bangladesh in October last year. He then missed action for a while before making a comeback through the Ranji Trophy 2024-25.

RR took to their official X (formerly known as Twitter) handle and shared a video to give their fans a glimpse of Holi celebrations in the team camp. In it, Riyan Parag could be seen enjoying the festival of colors with his teammates and dancing joyfully. The post was captioned:

"How were you celebrating today?"
