Riyan Parag, RR, IPL 2023 (Source: Twitter)
All-rounder Riyan Parag of the Rajasthan Royals (RR), who is having trouble scoring runs in the current Indian Premier League (IPL 2023), has got a request from a supporter to join the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) as of the upcoming season. Parag is no longer in the starting lineup because of his poor performance as a batter this year; the in-form Dhruv Jurel has taken his position. Since five consecutive seasons ago, RR has supported Parag, but his results have been unsatisfactory. After the current IPL season, it will be interesting to see which direction he takes.

In response to a fan's plea to join RCB, Parag wrote: "Ahh, Memories." The fan shared an image of Parag cheering for RCB during an IPL match from a previous season. Parag was a fan of RCB back then, and maybe he still is. In the answers, one can see his supporters' predictions for his future move to RCB. One wonders if that will continue to be the case for the struggling Assamese all-rounder in the IPL.
Riyan Parag's poor run in IPL 2023
If Parag decides he does not want to play for RR, he can inform his franchise, which will determine whether to keep him on the team. All 10 franchises in the IPL have the option to swap players. Teams have traded players in the past as well. For Mayank Markande and Rahul Tewatia to join the team, RR traded Ajinkya Rahane to the Delhi Capitals. Before an auction, the IPL trade window normally opens.
Parag has only scored 58 runs in 6 games this season, a miserable average of 11.60 and a strike rate of 107.40. He finished the previous season with 183 runs from 17 games, averaging 16.64 runs per game. In IPL 2023, Parag had played 11 matches and scored just 93 runs; in IPL 2023, he had played 12 games and scored only 86 runs. The IPL 2019 season was better since Parag scored 160 points in 7 games.
The Assam all-rounder entered the IPL 2023 after a strong domestic campaign. He tweeted that he had hammered four sixes in an IPL game this year. But it's obvious that things did not go as he had hoped.
