Riyan Parag, who plays for Sanju Samson-led Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League, has performed brilliantly this season and has scored 573 runs in 15 matches at an average of over 52 in the 17th season of IPL.

Due to this performance, Riyan Parag has got a place in Team India. After Riyan Parag's arrival in the team, the dream of Rahul Tewatia, who plays for Shubman Gill-led Gujarat Titans, to debut in Team India will remain a dream. Tewatia, who is older than Gill, is called brother. Tewatia is currently 31 years old and it is difficult for him to make a place in Team India.

Riyan Parag is the favorite of Gautam Gambhir and Suryakumar Yadav

Team India's head coach Gautam Gambhir and the newly appointed T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav are giving a lot of opportunities to Riyan Parag in Team India.

In such a situation, Riyan Parag seems to be the favorite of both the captain and coach of Team India because despite Parag's poor performance on the Zimbabwe tour, he has been given a place in Team India. In such a situation, it seems that chief selector Ajit Agarkar is going to give a long rope to Riyan Parag.

Career of Rahul Tewatia

Rahul Tewatia, who plays the role of an all-rounder for Gujarat Titans in IPL, has taken 32 wickets in 14 first-class matches at an average of less than 22 and scored 535 runs at an average of more than 28.
