In 1990, she clocked a National Junior record in the 100 metres breast stroke and in 1993, she clocked the National record (in the 50 metres freestyle) in National Games, Pune.

Domestic Career

As a 14-year-old, Riyan Parag could have been the youngest first-class debutant in India, but for the Assam selectors, who were not on the same page as the state's then coach Sanath Kumar. [13] Riyan made his Twenty20 debut for Assam in the 2016–17 Inter State Twenty-20 Tournament on 29 January 2017. [14]

He made his first-class debut for Assam in the 2017–18 Ranji Trophy on 17 November 2017. [15] With that debut, he became India's first FC cricketer born in 21st century. [16]

He was the leading run-scorer for Assam in the 2018–19 Vijay Hazare Trophy, with 248 runs in seven matches. [17]

Riyan Parag is said to have played a significant role in helping Assam reach the semifinals of both the 2022-23 Vijay Hazare Trophy and 2023–24 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, and East Zone making the finals of the 2023 Deodhar Trophy. [18] [19] [20]

In the 2022-23 Vijay Hazare Trophy, he was the highest run-getter for Assam and overall the fifth highest across sides in the season, with 552 runs at an average of 69 with three tons and one fifty. Coming in to bat at number four, he notched blistering centuries against Rajasthan, Jammu and Kashmir and Sikkim, and a fifty against Vidarbha. He also took 10 wickets in the season with his leg-break bowling. [21] In the quarter finals of the tournament chasing a mammoth 351 against Jammu and Kashmir, he scored 174 off 116 balls, an innings that was studded with a dozen sixes and an equal number of fours. [22] [23]

In one of the group stage matches of the first-class 2022-23 Ranji Trophy tournament playing against Hyderabad, Riyan struck 78 off 28 balls with the bat in the 2nd innings apart from picking up an eight wicket match-haul with his leg break bowling to help his team clinch a closely fought contest by 18 runs. [24] [25]

In the 2023 Deodhar Trophy, he was adjudged the Player of the Series for being the highest run-getter, highest six-hitter and third-highest wicket-taker in the tournament. [26] He scored a total of 354 runs in the tournament at a batting average of 88.50 and snapped 11 wickets at a bowling average of 19.09. [27] Riyan Parag surpassed Yusuf Pathan’s record of nine sixes for West Zone against North Zone (2010), to record the most sixes in an innings in the tournament's history by smashing 11 sixes against North Zone. [28] Parag struck centuries against West Zone and North Zone. In the final of the tournament playing for East Zone against South Zone, Riyan scored a 65 ball 95 after coming to bat when his team was tottering at 72 for 4 chasing an imposing target of 329. [29]

He then became the highest run -getter and highest six hitter with 510 runs and 40 sixes respectively in the 2023–24 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. He managed to top the run scoring charts for the second tournament in a row in Indian domestic cricket. He amassed the runs at a batting average of 85 and a strike rate of 182.79, [30] along with being the first cricketer to score seven consecutive half centuries in T20 cricket. His record-breaking seven consecutive half-centuries came against Bengal, Chandigarh, Kerala, Bihar, Services, Sikkim and Himachal Pradesh. He also contributed with the ball - scalping 11 wickets throughout the tournament. [31]

In the same season, Riyan Parag struck consecutive first-class centuries against Chattisgarh and Kerala and a 75 against Andhra Pradesh. He scored a total of 378 runs in 2023-24 Ranji Trophy in 6 innings at a batting average of 75.60 and a strike rate of 113.85, along with again becoming the highest six hitter of the tournament with 20 sixes in elite category. [32] [33] He smashed the second-fastest century in the history of Ranji Trophy, getting to the landmark off just 56 balls. He went on to score 155 playing for Assam in that away game against Chhattisgarh at Raipur. [34] Officially Rishabh Pant scored the fastest century in Ranji trophy off 48 balls against Jharkhand in the 2016 edition of the Ranji Trophy. Unofficially Shakti Singh has scored the fastest century in 42 balls for Himachal Pradesh against Haryana, but during that time there were no official scorers and the scoring was done by the team members. And as it would have it, they started to count only when Singh neared his fifty. [35]

Riyan was also a part of the victorious India A cricket team in the first-class 2024-25 Duleep Trophy. In the second innings of the final game played in the tournament,he top-scored with 73 runs against eventual runners-up India C. [36]

His twin fifties in the first-game - including a 33-ball half-century, the second-fastest behind Virat Kohli in recorded youth Tests, helped India set up a declaration and paved way for a 334-run victory in Chesterfield. In the second Test, he made a half-century in India's quest for quick runs, strung a 131-run stand with Shubman Gill for the fourth wicket and set up a 2–0 series win.

[3] According to the India U19 coach Rahul Dravid, he was in phenomenal form, hitting it beautifully in the build-up, but unfortunately got injured. Parag did not start the tournament because of a finger injury, and made the XI only for the final group game against Zimbabwe. [44] He broke his finger in the warm up games, but participated in the later half of that competition. [45] The finger injury in his left hand meant he could not bat fluidly. He worked on his secondary skill and developed as an offspinner. [13]

[54]

In the 2024 Indian Premier League, Riyan Parag was the highest run scorer for Rajasthan Royals, overall the third highest on the run scoring charts and fifth highest on the six hitters list with 573 runs and 33 sixes respectively. Riyan Parag made history by becoming the player with the most runs in a single season while batting at number four, surpassing Rishabh Pant's 2018 record of 547 runs at the position.
