Former Indian cricket team star Harbhajan Singh heaped praise on Rajasthan Royals‘ youngster Riyan Parag for his excellent performance against the Royal Challengers Bangalore last night in IPL 2022. The all-rounder smashed an unbeaten fifty to guide RR to 144/8 in their 20 overs.
In reply, the Royal Challengers Bangalore lost all their wickets for just 115 runs and lost the game by 29 runs. Given how the other batters struggled to score runs on the same pitch, the importance of Riyan Parag’s knock further increases.
Harbhajan Singh was not a fan of Rajasthan Royals giving Parag too many chances initially, but the all-rounder proved him and his other critics wrong by winning the Man of the Match award yesterday.
“Big win for @rajasthanroyals great team work.. brilliant from @ParagRiyan proving many wrong including me. More power to you. showing why RR giving him chance after chance ..Top quality bowling Kuldeep Sen,” Singh tweeted after the Jaipur-based franchise won the match.

Harbhajan Singh also appreciated uncapped fast bowler Kuldeep Sen who picked up a four-wicket haul for the Rajasthan Royals. The right-arm pacer turned the game upside down by picking up the wickets of Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell off successive deliveries.
Harbhajan Singh is impressed with the performances of young players in IPL 2022

Riyan Parag and Kuldeep Sen aren’t the first youngsters who have earned the attention of Harbhajan Singh with their performances in the 2022 edition of the Indian Premier League. In the match between the Punjab Kings and the Chennai Super Kings, Harbhajan was impressed with the way Arshdeep Singh bowled for the Mohali-based franchise.
“ARSHDEEP what a bowler.. BEST,” he tweeted after Arshdeep’s bowling in the death overs helped PBKS win the match.
It will be interesting to see if Riyan Parag, Kuldeep Sen and Arshdeep Singh can continue in the same vein in IPL 2022.
