Riyan Parag is being targeted on social media for his poor run at the IPL. The 20-year-old failed to impress this year with the accounting for just 43 runs. Soon after his team Rajasthan Royals went down to Gujarat Titans he started trending with the trolls taking the turns to ridicule him. Some of them said that the Assamese should just do ‘Bihu’ and forget about playing cricket. Some of them also said that he Parag should be stepping up to the game when Sachin Tendulkar at his age was dealing with a million fan followers.

Parag walked into bat against Gujarat Titans with his team chasing a target of 193 runs. A lot was expected when he walked in since he was considered a finisher. Instead, he failed to deliver, hitting just one six and one four in 16-ball 18. He soon faced wrath from the loyal RR fans.
Some of them also defended him, saying that he usually bats at seven and therefore will have to take risk to fire under pressure. Here are some of the top Twitter reactions.
