[WATCH]- Riyan Parag’s Old Video Trends After SRH vs RR IPL 2025 Clash

Rajasthan Royals (RR) all-rounder Riyan Parag’s past remarks from his 2024 appearance on ‘The Ranveer Show’ resurfaced during his first match as RR captain in the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL), putting him in an awkward position.

Parag had previously dismissed Sunrisers Hyderabad’s (SRH) ultra-aggressive batting approach, but his prediction backfired as SRH dismantled RR’s bowling attack, amassing 286 runs in 20 overs—the second-highest total in IPL history on Sunday.

In the 2024 season, SRH crossed 250 runs three times, including a record 287 against RCB at Chinnaswamy Stadium. With aggressive batters like Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Heinrich Klaasen, and Nitish Kumar Reddy, their attacking approach became a trademark.

This strategy took them to the playoffs and their first final since 2018, though they lost to KKR. Despite widespread praise, some, including Riyan Parag, remained doubtful.

Riyan Parag Dismissed SRH’s High-Scoring Approach for IPL 2025

Riyan Parag doubted the sustainability of this approach and claimed that such high scores wouldn’t be seen in the IPL 2025 season.

“We finished off one game against, I think, Lucknow, and we came back and saw SRH 135 runs after six overs. We all looked at each other and were like, what is going on? What the hell is going on? Whenever we played SRH, I don’t think they got more than 200. I think they got 200 in one, and 170 in the other,” Riyan Parag said on the Ranveer Show.

“Head was going berserk and then Abhishek was doing his thing. I don’t think it’s gonna happen next year. That’s a bold, bold prediction. I feel like, at least we figured it out We figured out how to not get hit for those 240-250 high scores,” he added.
