‘Maturity Comes From Pain’ Riyan Parag Speaks About Dealing With Hate And Criticism
After an impressive debut season in 2019, Parag struggled for the next four seasons, leading to questions about his place in the team.
Riyan Parag expressed that he did not deserve the trolling he faced during a rough patch in his career. The young cricketer recently received his first call-up to the Indian national team for a five-match T20I series against Zimbabwe. Parag gained recognition after India’s victory in the U19 World Cup 2018 in New Zealand, following which he was picked by Rajasthan Royals to play in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
“It’s not easy. But then again, after last year, I had a chat with myself. And this sort of a comeback is personal, because I had to put up with stuff I didn’t really deserve. Maybe I’ve lacked in preparation, maybe I’ve lacked in a few things, but then I’ve always put my best foot forward. I thought I didn’t deserve all the trolling, but what could I do? People are going to say things regardless. Last year they said I wasn’t good enough to play in the IPL. Now they want me in the Indian team. So people change, just like a switch,” Parag told ESPNcricinfo.
