Rajasthan have shown immense faith in his ability over the years. Parag made his debut for the franchise in 2019 and has been on their books since then, playing regularly. In his IPL career, the 21-year-old has scored a paltry 580 in 53 games, at an underwhelming average of 16.11. His overall career strike rate of 122.88 is also way below par for the role he plays with Rajasthan Royals.
