Rajasthan Royals (RR) had a stunning run in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, but they faced a seven-wicket loss at the hands of Gujarat Titans in the IPL 2022 final on Sunday at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Following the defeat, RR fans blamed a couple of players for their low-key performance in the finals, one of them being Riyan Parag. The youngster was trolled for failing to make an impact in the clash against GT. Furthermore, he also faced flack for his rude attitude during the tournament.

“Sometimes all you can do is look back and smile,” the 20-year-old wrote, adding that one should smile because it doesn’t matter what the world thinks, smile because when one gets to bed every single night, knowing they have given their 100%, it is always going to be good.
