Young Rajasthan Royals all-rounder Riyan Parag is excited to share the dressing room with Ravichandran Ashwin and wants to 'pick the brains' of the star Indian off-spinner in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. Ashwin will add firepower to Rajasthan's spin department as he was bought by the inaugural IPL champions for Rs 5 crore after an aggressive bidding war with Delhi Capitals.
Parag will be taking part in his fourth season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) when his team starts their campaign in Pune in a fortnight's time. The all-rounder from Guwahati already has 30 IPL matches under his belt and is ready to make the most of his fourth season in the league.
"That will definitely be Ashwin... If not the best ever, he's like one of the best off-spinners going around in the world," Parag, a spin-bowling all-rounder said in a release issued by his franchise.
"I'll definitely try to carry a red ball with me in the tournament so that I can get a few tips.
"But even with the white ball, I think if I can pick his brains on the varieties and all the mysteries. I think my white-ball bowling is going to be much better after the season," he added.
"I started my IPL journey at the Royals, and I'm delighted that I was bought back. I know there were four teams involved in the bidding and it was nice to see that because that means I've been doing something right," Parag, who was bought back by RR for Rs 3.80 crore, further said.
The youngster, who has recently appeared in his graduation exams, said he always wanted to return to the Royals squad.
