Overall, the Royals of Rajasthan had a terrible campaign, and they finished in ninth position and Parag scored 393 points at an average of 32.75 and a typing rate of 166.52.
After the IPL, he returned to action in the current Duleep trophy, where he led the area against the northern zone while Abhimanyu Easwaran was absent due to a fever.
Last year, Parag suffered shoulder surgery after playing T20i cricket for India in October 2024. He returned in January in the Ranji trophy and then played IPL 2025.
Speaking after the last day of the Duleep Trophy Game against North Zone, Riyan Parag said he just wanted to have fun in the match and made a revelation on his 2025 campaign.
“It was good. I mean, it was the main objective when I came here to play the game. Performance, I didn’t really focus on as much. I just wanted to have fun,” he said, as quoted by Espncricininfo.
“I haven’t played competitive cricket for a long time. Since IPL, I haven’t really played. [In the] IPL too, I managed a lot of stress and things like that. But that was good, it was a good outing. Not in the right direction with the quantity of the overs that we have aligned. But then, I rolled my arm for a few letters, struck for a while. Could have converted it for a more important score, but I am happy. The shoulder feels much better now. “”
They played a better cricket, I have to give credit to this – Riyan Parag
The game between the East Zone and the North zone ended with a draw, the latter qualifying for the semi-finals on the basis of their first advance.
Riyan Parag, who scored 39 points and recorded 1/78 figures, praised the performance of North Zone and said that his team could have done a better job. He developed:
“They played a better cricket, I have to give credit. I think we could have done better in the first rounds during the bowling alley, but we should have been at least 350 and then try to restrict it.
“But once we did not do this, they had the head of about 200 points. Then, just the strikers struck very well and just removed the game of us and the last day was only formality, I think, for them to get their milestones.”

Riyan Parag Eyes Australia Tour Comeback
Parag also declared that he was looking at a T20i return for the next tour in Australia, and if he was snubbed, he would return to a version of domestic cricket. He said:
“I was in the T20 configuration, then I took a break for the shoulder [injury]And things like it happened. Tidy [Trophy] arrives, then the tour in Australia arrives; If I am selected there, I do it. Otherwise, I go back to domestic and I do what I have been doing for two to three years. Be the best score for every match. Have a good IPL and play again for the country. “”
