I just saw the highlights.

Last ball, Ashwin was going for the second run to reduce the margin of loss.
But, just look at Parag, she was still walking in her first run.

He casually denied an easy second run.

It seems that he is not even interested in cricket.

Speaking of Parag’s performances, Rajasthan Royals head coach Kumar Sangakkara said at the press conference on Wednesday: “In that situation, he can go out and score as many sixes as fast as he can. It’s a very clear plan that he has Riyan. We had Dhruv to look after the place and we only needed 2 or 3 sixes in the intermissions.”

“He’s been hitting well in the nets. We back our guys pretty well, especially when he comes in to back us up or DDP comes in as an impact substitute. Looking at the local talent we have. Unfortunately, he hasn’t.” He’s been in good shape, we’ll assess him and address him in training,” Sangakkara explained.

After his team’s 10-run loss to LSG, RR captain Sanju Samson said he expected slow and low conditions in Jaipur and that a team needs to play “smart cricket” to win, which his team did until the ninth after which they lost direction. due to some early terrain.
