MI vs RR: Why is Riyan Parag Not Playing Today’s IPL 2023 Match? Check RR Playing XI

It’s the 1000th match of IPL and the two teams colliding in this historic match are Rajasthan Royals and the hosts Mumbai Indians. RR is heading into this game on the back of a win over CSK, whereas, MI have lost two on the bounce before heading into this fixture. Despite being on the winning side, RR have made a change to their eleven by replacing Adam Zampa for Trent Boult. This means, Riyan Parag still has no place in the eleven.

MI vs RR: Why is Riyan Parag Not Playing Today’s IPL 2023 Match?

Rajasthan Royals have once again followed a predictable course of action by excluding Riyan Parag from their starting lineup, making it the third consecutive match where the underperforming all-rounder has been dropped. In the previous two games against Royal Challengers Bangalore & Chennai Super Kings, Riyan was also left out as well. However, he has been listed as a substitute for the third game in a row and may be called upon if required to bolster RR’s batting. Here’s what RR’s skipper Sanju Samson said at the toss,

“It looks like a good wicket, look stick to their strengths: put up a good score and defend it. Says the team’s played at a good standard and have been joyful in the dugout. Says it’s gotten busy with the tightly-packed schedule, but the franchise, support staff are doing a great job to keep the mood happy. Boult is back for Zampa.”

Riyan parag IPL 2023 Price

Despite being yet to play at the international level, Riyan Parag, a batsman hailing from Assam, managed to earn a greater amount of money in IPL 2023 than many Indian cricketers. During the IPL 2019 auction, he was picked by the Royals for his base price of INR 20 lakh. However, during the IPL 2022 mega auction, he appeared to have gained greater value as he received bids from CSK, GT, and RR. Eventually, the Royals invested a substantial amount of INR 3.8 crore to secure the services of the talented young player from Assam.
