Riyan Parag, the Rajasthan Royals skipper, took a sly dig at the IPL commentators’ panel and tore into them for misusing words and unnecessarily addressing cricketers’ personal lives. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Rajasthan Royals registered a massive victory. With Vaibhav Sooryavanshi contributing handsomely with the bat, the Royals chased a massive 221-run target with ease. Dhurv Jurel was unbeaten with a half-century as the Royals wound up the massive chase. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Rajasthan Royals are just one step away from making the playoffs. The Royals ended their losing streak after Yashasvi Jaiswal stepped in as their skipper in Riyan Parag’s absence. <\/span><\/p>\n

“People will talk,” Riyan Parag shows an unfazed attitude toward external criticism<\/h2>\n

Riyan Parag, the RR skipper, did not mince his words when he arrived at the press conference following his team’s massive victory against the Lucknow Super Giants. He went on to claim that people will never stop talking; he’d rather focus on his game. <\/span><\/p>\n

“First, one thing I have understood now, you mentioned four years, that no matter what I do, people will talk,” Parag said. “I have understood that much. Secondly, I have also understood that whatever talk is happening, it shouldn’t affect my game, my form, or my mindset. Because keyboard warriors\u2014that is, outside work, and it should be left outside. And as far as how much I think about my game or how much belief I have in my game, I feel that shouldn’t be overpowered by it.<\/span><\/p>\n

“As far as whatever is going on in the IPL this year, a lot of things are happening outside. I feel this entire country loves cricket very much. We, as players, try to give our best whenever we go out, to perform for the crowd that has come and for the expectations they bring,” he added.<\/span><\/p>\n

Riyan Parag also slammed the IPL commentators and <\/span>the<\/span> other keyboard warriors for <\/span>the<\/span> unnecessary statements made about their personal lives<\/span>, <\/span>as well as<\/span> targeting the off-field activities <\/span>of the players<\/span>.<\/span> <\/span>He claimed that they, too, are human and do make mistakes, <\/span>for which<\/span> they should not be mistreated.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

“Players are working very hard. It’s very easy to say when a team gets all out for 75 or 80 that they don’t want to play or don’t know how to play. Before that game, there must be three or four days of preparation, and there is preparation on how to score 220 or 250, but sometimes it doesn’t happen. We are also human; mistakes happen from our side, too.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I feel, whatever is happening outside, especially commentators whose voices are reaching the people, I would just request them to love cricket, talk about cricket, and I feel a sport that is so important to a country, in which we are the best, I feel it should be treated with some respect, and only cricket should be talked about, nothing else,” he asserted.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Rajasthan Royals are on the brink of a playoff qualification: Massive boost for Captain Riyan Parag<\/h2>\n

The Rajasthan Royals, with their massive victory against the Lucknow Super Giants, have now entered the top four and, with 14 points, are just one win away from sealing a spot in the playoffs. They have to ensure that they just manage to win their next game against the Mumbai Indians. <\/span><\/p>\n

With just one win away from entering the playoffs, this is a massive boost for skipper Riyan Parag, who is leading as the official skipper of an IPL franchise for the first time. Parag’s performance with the bat was dimmed before he played two fine innings against the Delhi Capitals. <\/span><\/p>\n
