He may have copped criticism for various reasons of late, but Rajasthan Royals skipper Riyan Parag said he does not need to “answer his critics” but his job is to win matches for his team.

Parag’s 50-ball 90 and Donovan Ferreira’s brutal 14-ball 47 not out powered RR to 225-6, but they lost to Delhi Capitals by seven wickets on Friday. “I don’t think I need to answer any critics or anyone talking about it [vaping]. But, my job is to get two points. So, my score and my innings don’t really matter if we lose,” said Parag.
