Rajasthan Royals (RR) batter Riyan Parag faced the wrath of fans after he failed yet again with the bat against the Gujarat Titans on Sunday, April 16. Parag scored only five runs in the chase in the 23rd match of IPL 2023 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. It didn't cost his side much though, as RR won by three wickets.GT batted first in the contest after losing the toss. They scored 177/7 on the back of decent contributions from different members of their batting unit. None of the batters scored a half-century for them though, with David Miller (46) being their top scorer. Rajasthan Royals then found themselves in a troubling situation at 47/3 in 8.3 overs. Riyan Parag entered the crease at that juncture; many felt it was a chance for him to redeem himself in a difficult situation amidst a lean patch of batting form. However, Parag could not utilize the opportunity and instead further worsened RR's position. He played seven balls and scored just five runs before Rashid Khan dismissed him in the 11th over.Fans were furious after witnessing yet another dismal outing from Riyan Parag in the batting department. They trolled him with some strong reactions on Twitter.TukTuk Academy@TukTuk_AcademyRiyan Parag and Devdutt Paddikal....what a consistency man what a consistency 🥵Both of these academy senior agents brought some fellow teammates named Jaisawal and Buttler for academy visits too🤩 #GTvRR1176106Riyan Parag and Devdutt Paddikal....what a consistency man what a consistency 🥵🔥Both of these academy senior agents brought some fellow teammates named Jaisawal and Buttler for academy visits too❤️🤩 #GTvRR https://t.co/yuRkTIS9n6StrawHat Luffy@PirateKing2002019- He is a Kid and he's learning. 2020- He is a Kid and he's learning.2021- He is a Kid and he's learning.2022- He is a Kid and he's learning.2023- He is a Kid and he's learning2040- He is a Kid and he's still learning.Lord Riyan Parag148212019- He is a Kid and he's learning. 2020- He is a Kid and he's learning.2021- He is a Kid and he's learning.2022- He is a Kid and he's learning.2023- He is a Kid and he's learning2040- He is a Kid and he's still learning.Lord Riyan Parag https://t.co/WnunyQ0dpZAshutosh Srivastava 🇮🇳@sri_ashutosh08Riyan Parag in every match of IPL 2023#RRvsGT #RiyanParag #GTvsRR9823Riyan Parag in every match of IPL 2023#RRvsGT #RiyanParag #GTvsRR https://t.co/IvnuarSP5tHimanshu Pareek@Sports_HimanshuRiyan Parag in Rajasthan Royals team: #GTvsRR #IPL2023878Riyan Parag in Rajasthan Royals team: #GTvsRR #IPL2023https://t.co/YT00hRtIQhRoshan Rai@RoshanKrRaiiRiyan Parag has the swag of YuvrajAggression of Kohli Attitude of Sehwag & Batting Talent of Ramesh Powar #GTvsRR10416Riyan Parag has the swag of YuvrajAggression of Kohli Attitude of Sehwag & Batting Talent of Ramesh Powar #GTvsRRHemant@Sportscasmm#GTvRR #GTvsRR #RRvsGTRajasthan Royals fans waiting for 1 good innings from Riyan Parag216#GTvRR #GTvsRR #RRvsGTRajasthan Royals fans waiting for 1 good innings from Riyan Parag https://t.co/YU2hq2Lq21Hemant@Sportscasmm#GTvRR #GTvsRRRiyan Parag IPL career summary298#GTvRR #GTvsRRRiyan Parag IPL career summary https://t.co/fseqrgZmcUGourav 🔥@GOATNIstan__The real reason behind why Riyan Parag is playing matches for RR.#GTvsRR274The real reason behind why Riyan Parag is playing matches for RR.#GTvsRR https://t.co/dMOCXqYJU4Halsey@Meandmyself017Riyan Parag playing since 5 years with nothing to show just because his link with the RR ownersArjun Tendulkar was on the bench since 2-3 years, worked hard to earn his spot but some clowns calling it nepotism 🤡263Riyan Parag playing since 5 years with nothing to show just because his link with the RR ownersArjun Tendulkar was on the bench since 2-3 years, worked hard to earn his spot but some clowns calling it nepotism 🤡Saikat Ghosh@Ghosh_Analysis3 observations after Rajasthan Royals incredible win.-Hardik Pandya was not graceful in defeat.

Sanju Samson was the aggressor initially as he smashed three consecutive sixes off Rashid Khan to shift the momentum towards RR. However, he perished after reaching a fine half-century.Hetmyer stayed unbeaten until the end and successfully finished the match for his side. He reflected on the win later, saying:"It was a kind of revenge after losing against them all three times last year. Just practice it early, I have always got that in the back of my mind that if wickets are lost how can I programme my mind. I was actually pretty happy t be honest seeing the spinner bowling the final over. That was basically all I was thinking and it worked out tonight."RR will next face the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Wednesday, April 19.
