Rajasthan Royals’ Riyan Parag impressed with a handy cameo in his side pulled off a thrilling chase against Kolkata Knight Riders on Thursday.

The 17-year-old came close to scoring a well-deserved fifty before being dismissed in the penultimate over in the unlikeliest fashion. The teenager attempted to hook Andre Russell’s bouncer but disturbed the bails as he dragged his bat on the follow through and had to depart back to the pavilion.
