Riyan Parag Out or Not Out? RR Batter Displeased After Controversial Decision. Internet Divided

Riyan Parag was at the centre of a tricky dismissal during the Gujarat Titans vs Rajasthan Royals IPL 2025 match in Ahmedabad on Wednesday. The incident happened in the seventh over bowled by GT's left-arm pacer Kulwant Khejroliya. Riyan Parag was given caught behind but the RR batter went for DRS. The decision to go for a DRS looked surprising as it appeared to be a straight out. Replays showed there was a spike as the ball passed the bat, however, at the same time the bat hit the ground too. Parag even looked displeased and had a word with the umpire too.

Was the snickometer sound from the bat hitting the ground or the ball hitting the bat? How does the third umpire decide? Riyan Parag clearly thinks its from the bat hitting the ground.
We need to find another way of settling this issue, not the first time this has happened!

Riyan Parag was definitely NOT OUT!
The ball's shadow can be seen clearly on the bat and the snicko showed a spike before the ball reached the bat, i.e. the bat did hit the ground and hence the spike.
