The 17-year-old came of age to almost single-handedly take his side through under pressure. When the other senior batsmen in the side failed to deliver as the Royals kept losing wickets on regular intervals in the 176-run chase it was Parag who absorbed pressure and showed great composure to showcase his brilliance with the bat.  RR were reeling on 78/4 with the likes of Ajinkya Rahane, Ben Stokes, Steve Smith and Sanju Samson all back in the hut when Parag came in to bat. He added two partnerships of 20 and 25 runs respectively with Stuart Binny and Shreyas Gopal before combining with Jofra Archer (27) to add another 44 runs for the seventh wicket to set up the chase for his side.  However, Parag's innings ended in a dramatic manner after he was dismissed hit wicket as his bat hit the stumps while trying to play a shot of Andre Russell's bowling. The unlucky dismissal left Rajasthan skipper Smith in disbelief as he couldn't believe what happened. Parag was dismissed off the penultimate ball of the 19th over with Rajasthan requiring 9 runs to win off seven balls.
