RR was sent in to bat and was down to 36 for 3 in the eighth over, but Parag, 22, pushed the home team to 185 for 5 on his own with a brilliant unbroken knock that included seven fours and six sixes.
Anrich Nortje, a seasoned South African pacer, conceded 25 runs to Parag, who hit 43 in the previous game after being moved up to number four by the club management this season. In the last over, Parag scored 4, 4, 6, 4, 6, 1.
