Riyan Parag’s Controversies

Frolic Move (2022)

Riyan Parag of the Rajasthan Royals courted controversy when he took a catch to dismiss Marcus Stoinis at the Brabourne Stadium on Sunday during the encounter against the Lucknow Super Giants all-rounder. 

The event happened during the final over of the game when Australian all-rounder Stoinis hit a six off a low full toss from Prasidh Krishna. On the next ball he attempted to smash it over the rope once more but Parag was at long-on.

While almost pretending to touch the ball to the ground Parag made a show of the catch which neither the pundits nor many spectators found impressive. He mockingly indicated that the ball had not struck the ground.

Stoinis was earlier claimed to have been caught by Parag but the third umpire determined that the ball rebounded before reaching the RR player. Nevertheless in the 20th over Parag had another chance to hold onto Stoinis' catch.

Tweet Controversy (2021)

"Buttoned up and collar down Virat Kohli isn't the same feel ya #IndvEng " Riyan Parag wrote in a tweet he posted in 2021 during the test series between India and England. Virat Kohli has modified his approach to playing cricket since everyone knows he is not the same aggressive man he once was. 

He intended to convey through the tweet that like many other supporters he missed witnessing Kohli's competitive side in action. However this tweet caused a stir among fans and many of them even claimed that Parag was insulting Kohli and eavesdropping on his private life. However Riyan still needs to provide the general public or Twitterati with an explanation or remove the tweet.
