Riyan Parag Das (born 10 November 2001) is an Indian cricketer who plays for Assam in domestic cricket and for Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League (IPL).[2]

Personal life

Riyan's father, Parag Das is a former first-class cricketer who played for Assam and Railways.[3][4] His mother Mithoo Barooah, is a former national record holding swimmer in 50m freestyle who represented India at the Asian Championships and SAF Games.[5]

Career

Riyan made his Twenty20 debut for Assam in the 2016–17 Inter State Twenty-20 Tournament on 29 January 2017.[6] In October 2017, he was named in India's squad for the 2017 ACC Under-19 Asia Cup.[7] He made his first-class debut for Assam in the 2017–18 Ranji Trophy on 17 November 2017.[8]

In December 2017, he was named in India's squad for the 2018 Under-19 Cricket World Cup.[9] He was the leading run-scorer for Assam in the 2018–19 Vijay Hazare Trophy, with 248 runs in seven matches.[10]

In December 2018, he was bought by the Rajasthan Royals in the player auction for the 2019 Indian Premier League at his base price of 20 lakhs.[11][12] During the 2019 Indian Premier League, he became the youngest cricketer to score a fifty in the history of the Indian Premier League.[13] He achieved the feat at the age of 17 years and 175 days breaking the previous record of 18 years and 169 days, jointly held by Sanju Samson and Prithvi Shaw.[14]

He was released by Rajasthan ahead of the mega auction for 2022 Indian Premier League.[15] In February 2022, he was re-bought by the Rajasthan Royals in the auction for the 2022 Indian Premier League tournament.[16] In the 2022 Indian Premier League , he took 17 catches - the most by any Indian fielder and non-wicket-keeper in the tournament [17] [18] and scored a match winning 56 not out for Rajasthan Royals in a low scoring thriller against Royal Challengers Bangalore.[19]

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 in 8 games.[20] In the quarter finals of the tournament chasing a mammoth 351 against Jammu and Kashmir, he struck a career best 174 off 116 balls, an innings that was studded with a dozen sixes and an equal number of fours. [21]

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.[22] [23]

In the 2023 Deodhar Trophy, he was adjusted the Player of the Series for being the highest run-getter, highest six-hitter and third-highest wicket-taker in the tournament.[24] 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.[25]

He was also included in the India A cricket team squad for the 2023 ACC Emerging Teams Asia Cup. Riyan played in the final against Pakistan A where he picked up two middle-order wickets off consecutive deliveries.[26]
