3 teams that could target Riyan Parag if he is released after IPL 2023 by Rajasthan

Riyan Parag is not having a good outing in IPL 2023. Many felt it would be the season in which he would step up in his career. However, that has not happened. RR has dropped him from the XI and it won’t be a surprise if he is released after the season. For Parag, too, a stint outside RR would be beneficial. Here, we take a look at three teams that could target Riyan Parag if he is released after IPL 2023 by Rajasthan.

1) Royal Challengers Bangalore

If you take a look at the combination of most teams, it is RCB that is in dire need of domestic batters. Especially in the middle-order, they would need a lot of options.

In this regard, they can target someone like Parag, who actually has decent experience in IPL. Moreover, by playing at Chinnaswamy, Parag can get his form and confidence back.

2) Chennai Super Kings

Chennai Super Kings is one of the teams that could target Riyan Parag if he is released after IPL 2023 by Rajasthan. CSK must plan to replace the likes of Ambati Rayudu after IPL 2023. Players such as Moeen Ali, MS Dhoni and Ajinkya Rahane are also not options for the future.

Therefore, CSK can plan to hire a player like Parag. He is good against spin bowling and he himself can offer a few overs of spin. Hence, he is an option to consider for CSK if the player becomes available.

3) Delhi Capitals

Delhi Capitals look to be short of one good domestic batter. Yes, Parag is not in form but he would be a more reliable choice than the options that DC has at the moment.

Especially after Rishabh Pant comes back, DC would be serious about focussing on the squad for the future. Maybe, Parag could have a role in that at No.5 and as the assist to Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel in the spin department.
