Riyan Parag Target Of Internet Yet Again - This Time For 'Phone Throw' Incident After RR vs CSK IPL 2025 Match

Riyan Parag's captaincy stint with the Rajasthan Royals yielded its first win for the franchise at the IPL 2025 as it won against Chennai Super Kings by six runs. With Sanju Samson's role limited in the initial matches for RR due to injury, Parag was chosen as the leader. The Assam-born star has been a constant for RR over the past few years. Though he had his share of critics, regular good performances in the domestic competitions saw his stock rise. In fact in IPL 2024, he ended up scoring 573 in 16 matches at an average of 52.09 with a strike-rate of 149.22. 

This season Parag has not started on a good note scoring 37 in three matches. To add to the woes. Parag was trolled for a phone throw incident. A video from after the RR vs CSK match in Guwahati on Sunday, which has gone viral, shows Parag clicking a selfie with the Barsapara Cricket Stadium's ground-staff. After the photo is taken, Parag playfully throws the phone at the staff's direction. This act did not please some social media users.
