Rajasthan Royals (RR) all-rounder Riyan Parag answered a few questions from his fans on social media. The franchise posted his Q&A video on Twitter in which he also named the bowler who he finds the toughest to face in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Riyan has played two IPL seasons for Rajasthan and overall 19 matches. He got to feature in 7 matches of the IPL 2019, and 12 in the last season.
The 19-year-old youngster has faced many quality bowlers in the two IPL seasons but he named Mumbai Indians (MI) pacer Jasprit Bumrah the one who was hard to play.

Riyan said Bumrah was a nightmare for him and called the speedster a world class bowler. “That’d be very easy. That would be Jasprit Bumrah. I think he is the world’s best. Facing him and scoring against him is a nightmare,” he said.
The Assam cricketer also answered a few other questions in the video. He likes to play against Kolkata Knight Riders and Virat Kohli is his role model.
“My favourite IPL team to play against would be Kolkata (Knight Riders) because first, I like playing in Eden. And second, I think they really have top-quality quickies.
“My role model has always been Virat Kohli. I admire him as a player of course, but even more as a human being. So, it’s Virat Kohli,” he said in the video.
