Fans on Twitter lashed out at Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Rajasthan Royals (RR) for comparing Riyan Parag with MS Dhoni for the finisher’s role. They questioned the team for the comparison and said highlighted the record of both the batters to slam the franchise.
Riyan Parag calls No.6 and No.7 positions in T20I the hardest; calls MS Dhoni the master of it; Rajasthan Royals compare both batters
Ms Dhoni arguably has been one of the best cricketers and finishers in the history of the game. Being among one of the few batsmen who have massed over 10,000 runs in ODI, the 41-year is often credited for taking Indian cricket to new heights.
Not only in international cricket, but he also showed his mettle in IPL as well. Apart from scoring truckloads of runs in the league, Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to four IPL titles. He’s the main reason behind Men in Yellow being the second most successful franchise.
Dhoni has many times won the match for his side in crunch situations with his ability to finish the games. The wicketkeeper batter has scored 4978 runs in 235 matches at a strike rate of over 135.
On the other hand, Riyan Parag has been in exceptional form in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy 2022 with 537 runs in 8 innings at an average and strike rate of 76.71 and 123.44 respectively to go with three hundreds and one fifty as well to his name.
While he has been in staggering form, it’s fair to say that he has struggled to get going in IPL. The all-rounder bats at No.6 and No.7 for his franchise but haven’t found his mojo. He called the batting position the hardest and said that only Dhoni has mastered the art of batting lower down the order.
As he said that, Rajasthan Royals compared Parag with Dhoni. They posted pictures of both batters on their Twitter account and asked fans to pick their favourite finisher from the two batters.
