The IPL team Rajasthan Royals managed to play the finals of the IPL 2022 and though it lost to Gujarat Titans which won the IPL title in its debut season yet nobody can deny the fact that RR is a strong team and is being led well by Sanju Samson.
However, RR is also making news for one more reason and that is the presence of Riyan Parag in the team despite repeated failures and we are not talking only about the IPL 2023 but past few seasons. There is no denying the fact that Riyan Parag is a young talented cricketer but he has failed to perform despite getting many chances. What makes cricket fans hate him more is the attitude that he shows and his arrogant behaviour. Many feel that he shows the aggression of Virat Kohli but his batting talent is similar to that of Ramesh Powar. In fact, even the cricketing experts and show anchors have started trolling RR for playing Riyan Parag by saying that RR plays with 10 cricketers and Riyan Parag.
RR fans were a little happy when Riyan Parag was dropped from the team when RR faced CSK, the match was won by RR by 3 runs but many were happy more because of the reason that Riyan Parag was dropped but to everyone’s surprise, Riyan Parag was back in the team in the next match against Gujarat Titans and in that match, he once again disappointed everyone by scoring 5 runs. In the last three matches also, Riyan Parag played poor knocks of 7, 20 and 7.
Though the match against GT was also won by RR by 3 wickets, thanks to the blistering knocks by Sanju Samson and Shimron Hetmyer, yet cricket lovers were busier in trolling Riyan Parag than praising RR batters for putting up a great show against the defending champions.
Here is how Twitterati reacted:
At some point Rajasthan Royals will stop backing Riyan Parag. The question is when.
Parag is not Russell, SKY, or Shaw, who have excellent records, and hence need to be backed if they fail while taking risks in a high-risk format.
Parag has a SR of 124 and an economy of 10.70.
