In the second innings, after making a strong start, Riyan Parag was dismissed for 20 off 31 balls by Saurab Kumar.
India A In the present Duleep Trophy, hitter Riyan Parag had again another bad performance at bat, this time in the second round match against India D in Anantpur. Parag lost to Saurab Kumar for 20 off 31 balls in the second innings, unable to build on his strong start of 37 off just 29 balls in the first. He struck out two sixes from the outfield with a strong aim. But on the last ball of the 69th over, he made a bad shot choice that resulted in his knock being chopped shot.
When the ball struck the bat’s toe end, Parag misplayed his shot, and Aditya Thakare, the replacement fielder, made an incredible catch to terminate the former’s tenure in the middle.
Fans of the young actor, however, claimed that Parag lacks the ability to turn his early successes into a major setback, which led to a heated debate about his failed program on social media.
His most recent Duleep Trophy scores are 20, 37, 31, and 30. tweet.com/jK2mA6V7pg

This gave India D a lofty mark of 489.India D reached 62/1 in 19 overs at stumps and need 426 more runs to win, which seems unlikely.
