Riyan Parag's momentum-shifting knock of 20 runs off 12 balls helped Rajasthan Royals register a 4-wicket win but couldn't impress the netizens.
They instead called him out on his performance. This IPL, Parag played only 7 matches this season and gathered only 78 runs in 2023 at an average of 13 runs.
Parag's inning was crucial to Rajasthan-- he smashed consecutive sixes off Kagiso Rabada when RR needed 33 in 18 balls. He turned the tables with his 2 sixes, helping Sanju Samson's team successfully chase down 187 runs that Punjab had posted.
However, twitterattis praised the knock with a pinch of salt.
While one of them said, 'Lord Riyan Parag's 20 runs will get him in RR for the next 5 years' another called him visionary.
Another Twitter user slammed Punjab Kings for getting thrashed by Riyan Parag, he wrote, 'feel ashamed that Riyan Parag has smashed 2 sixers against you'
Netizens also sarcastically reminded Riyan Parag of forgetting to perform his famous Bihu dance to celebrate the 'unique achievement'
Rajasthan with the win kept their playoff hopes alive, while their league games are finished and are sitting at 5th spot with 14 points they heavily rely on MI and RCB now for a finish in the top 4.
