Another Virat Kohli fanboy Riyan Parag won the ‘Player of the Tournament’
Riyan Parag, Shahbaz Ahmed, and Utkarsh Singh picked up two wickets each whereas Manisankar Murasingh and Akash Deep scalped one each. In East Zone’s batting reply, they suffered a top-order collapse with the top three batters scoring 11 runs among themselves. Sudip Kumar Gharami with 41 off 63 and Kumar Kushagra with 68 off 58 remained key contributors. But, the star for East Zone was allrounder Riyan Parag who added to his two wickets with a 95-run knock off just 65 balls, including eight fours and five sixes.

Talking of Virat Kohli, he is not a part of the five-match T20I series against West Indies. He returned to India following their wins in the test and the ODI series in a private flight arranged by Global Air Charter Services. He will next be in action in the Asia Cup ODI 2023, starting August 30.

The revelation sheds light on how top players study and exploit their opponents. It also emphasizes the need for constant evolution in cricket tactics. Ashwin’s insights provide valuable lessons for players and fans, highlighting the game’s strategic depth.
