Team India is currently putting in all its efforts to win the T20 World Cup. After a strong performance in the first round, now the Indian players under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma will enter the Super-8 with the intention of showing the same strength, so that the team can reach the semi-finals and then the finals and stake a claim for the title.

Not only in India, but outside India too, Indian fans are encouraging Team India and supporting it fully. In such a situation, if someone says that he is not watching Team India play, it will be surprising. Especially if he is a young Indian cricketer, then it is natural to be shocked. Assam batsman Riyan Parag, who became a hit in the IPL, has something similar to say.

Riyan Parag, who impressed everyone with his strong performance in IPL 2024, is often in the news due to his statements. Earlier he used to be in the headlines due to his claims about strong batting in IPL.

Now this year his flair was seen in the tournament, now he is in the news due to his statements about Team India. One such statement of Riyan Parag, who talked about coming to Team India a few days ago, has now gone viral.

Why did Riyan Parag say this?

Riyan Parag was recently appointed as the brand ambassador of a sports university in Guwahati. During this, when he spoke to the media, Riyan said something that hardly anyone would have expected. According to the video going viral on social media, when asked about Team India in the T20 World Cup, the young all-rounder said that he was sleeping when Team India was playing.

What he said next was even more shocking. Riyan Parag said that he will watch only when he plays for Team India.

Will there be entry in Team India?

By the way, some time ago, Riyan Parag had also said that he does not even want to watch the World Cup. However, he did not give any specific reason for this then. He also said that he will definitely play for Team India one day, whenever it may be. Now when Riyan Parag's wish will be fulfilled, it will be known only in the coming time. By the way, after his brilliant performance in IPL 2024, his chances of making a place in Team India seem strong. Especially after the T20 World Cup, he seems certain to get a chance in the T20 series on the Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka tour.
