Riyan Parag rose to claim his place among men but fell like the teenager he is. When all seemed lost for Rajasthan Royals, the Assam lad, just 17 years of age, hammered 47 off 31 to carry his team to the doorstep of victory over Kolkata Knight Riders before falling hit-wicket.

Chasing 176, Jofra Archer and Jaydev Unadkat were around to put the finishing touches as the Royals won with three wickets and four deliveries to spare. Parag and Archer added 44 off 21 balls for the seventh wicket. The spinners had come to the party with Piyush Chawla and Sunil Narine picking up five wickets between them to peg back the Royals after a brisk start. Narine, of course, will be ruing the dropped chance off Parag when the youngster hadn't opened his account.
