I thought I could play a little faster because I know the wicket here." "But in the end, we were 20 runs short. Then, when kolkata Knight Riders batted, we planned to get quinton de kock out quickly. But that didn't happen.
So, we tried to control the runs in the middle overs. The way he played was amazing." Riyan Parag said. Talking about his recent move to the third order, he said, "Last year the team asked me to play in the fourth order, and I did that. This year they are asking me to play in the third order. As a professional cricketer, wherever the team asks me to play, I accept it and do it." "This time we have a lot of young players in our team. How we work together in a match is what matters. We did well in some parts of the match. Now we have to play well overall and turn the match results in our favor. We are learning a lot from here. We will understand our mistakes and try not to repeat them again," said Riyan Parag.
