Riyan Parag is beginning to look like a reliable ODI player, raising comparisons with Shreyas Iyer. While Iyer impressed with 110 runs in the first unofficial ODI against Australia A, his failure in the second match has put pressure on him.
Riyan Parag Shows Consistency
Riyan backed up his 67-run knock in the opening game with another solid 58 in the second ODI. His back-to-back contributions show maturity and consistency, two qualities that India A’s middle order currently needs.
Shreyas Iyer Struggles for Rhythm
Iyer, despite his brilliant century in the first game, fell for just 8 in the second. This inconsistency has reignited concerns about his form, especially with younger players like Riyan making the most of their opportunities.
Breaking the IPL Tag
For years, Riyan has been labelled as an IPL-made cricketer. His recent performances prove he has the skill to succeed in longer formats too. If used properly, his role could become more valuable than Iyer’s in the current set-up.
Key Battle Ahead
India A will face Australia A in the final ODI on October 5, 2025. All eyes will be on whether Riyan continues his run of form and if Iyer can stage a comeback to silence doubts about his consistency.
