Following a solid knock against LSG in his side's IPL 2024 campaign opener, Rajasthan Royals all-rounder Riyan Parag said that the head coach Kumar Sangakkara gave him clarity by letting him bat at number four, where he bats at domestic cricket level.

An explosive half-century by Sanju Samson and a fine knock by Riyan helped RR reach 193/4 in their IPL campaign opener against LSG. This knock is very significant for Riyan, who was batting down the order in earlier seasons but was nonetheless trolled by many on social media for underperforming.
