Riyan Parag: It is not easy for any player to make a place in the Indian cricket team and even if a place is made, it is not easy to retain the place. There is competition among players from domestic cricket to Indian Premier League (IPL) to join Team India's squad. During this time, a player was trying hard to make a place in Team India, but Riyan Parag has shattered his dream.

Riyan Parag, who plays for Rajasthan Royals captained by Sanju Samson in the Indian Premier League, has got a place in Team India's squad due to his performance. During this, he has performed brilliantly while playing for Team India in the T20 series against Sri Lanka. In such a situation, his place in the team has been confirmed. In such a situation, Punjab Kings' explosive middle-order batsman and Shashank Singh, who considers Preity Zinta as his sister, played amazing innings in the 17th season of IPL. But due to Riyan Parag, it is now difficult for him to make a place in Team India.

Because of this, Shashank Singh is overshadowed Riyan Parag

Shashank Singh is currently 32 years old and Riyan Parag is 22 years old. In such a situation, if Riyan Parag is given two years of opportunity in the team and he performs well for Team India, then he can become a big player for Team India for the next fifteen years. Whereas Shashank Singh is currently 32 years old and after adding two years to him, he will be 34 years old and usually players retire at 35-36. In such a situation, Shashank Singh will not be able to serve Team India for a long time.

Riyan Parag can play the role of an all-rounder

Riyan Parag can play the role of an all-rounder as well as a spin bowler along with batting in the middle order for Team India. However, Shashank Singh can play for Team India only as a batsman. In such a situation, Team India may consider it better to bet on head coach Gautam Gambhir, captain Suryakumar Yadav and ODI and Test team captain Rohit Sharma along with selector Ajit Agarkar.
