"Agr Riyan Parag ka balla chlne lgg jata toh RCB bhi trophy jeetne lgg jati" - Fans tear apart RR youngster for scoring 4 off 6 balls vs GT

Riyan Parag put in another disappointing performance for the Rajasthan Royals (RR), this time against defending champions Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Friday, May 5.

The right-hander came as an impact player for RR as an extra batter in the IPL 2023 clash. This came as they continued to lose wickets at regular intervals but couldn't produce an impression. Parag scored four runs off six deliveries before getting leg before wicket to ace spinner Rashid Khan, leaving RR at 69/5 after 9.2 overs.

For the uninitiated, Parag has, so far, failed to deliver in the ongoing IPL 2023, scoring 56 in six games at a strike rate of 107.69. In his previous outing against LSG, the middle order batter had scored 15* off 12 balls, where RR lost by 10 runs.

Fans on Twitter expressed their disgust at yet another failure by Parag with the bat in IPL 2023. One user tweeted:

"Some things always remain as default. Agr Riyan Parag ka balla chlne lgg jata toh RCB bhi trophy jeetne lgg jati (If Riyan Parag starts to score then RCB too will start winning trophies)."

I think riyan parag have some porn photos of RR owner.

It's worth mentioning that RR retained Parag for Rs 3.8 crore ahead of the IPL 2023 mini-auction. This came after the Assam batter scored 183 runs in 17 games at a strike rate of 138.64, including a solitary half-century.


Riyan Parag’s RR bundled out for 118 vs GT

A clinical bowling performance from Gujarat Titans helped their side bundle out Rajasthan Royals for 118 in 17.5 overs. Rashid Khan emerged as the pick of the bowlers, returning with figures of 3/14, while Noor Ahmed took a couple.

Meanwhile, captain Hardik Pandya, Mohammed Shami, and Joshua Little finished with one wicket each.

GT’s Abhinav Manohar and Mohit Sharma also produced two excellent runouts. They dismissed Adam Zampa and Yashasvi Jaiswal with their on-field brilliance, respectively.

For RR, skipper Sanju Samson top-scored with 30 off 20 balls. Trent Boult (15), Devdutt Padikkal (12), and Jaiswal (14) were the other batters to reach double figures.
