As per preious media reports, the picture of Dhoni with Riyan was clicked when the budding cricketer was just three years old.
Parag, who has been a delight for the fans with his onfield antics, made his IPL debut for the Royals against Chennai Super Kings.
The Assam cricketer had scored 16 off 14 deliveries before being caught-behind off Shardul Thakur in that contest. It was moments after his debut, the photo went viral on social media.
“It’s just an amazing experience to play against the man who played against my father, got him stumped and now got me caught behind. It’s just surreal to play against someone who, if not the greatest, is one of the greatest cricketers of all time. I am really glad that I got a chance to play against him,” Parag was quoted as saying in a report on Outlook.
