IPL 2022: Twitterati slam Riyan Parag for dropping catch of in-form Rajat Patidar

Riyan Parag continues to divide fans on Twitter. The Rajasthan Royals (RR) youngster was on the receiving end of some not so kind words from Twitterati after dropping a catch of an in-form Rajat Patidar, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, on Friday. 

The Qualifier 2 between RCB vs RR started with Virat Kohli's early departure, which set the tone for Rajasthan. They appeared to be choking RCB as Rajat Patidar came out to bat after Kohli and the youngster who had scored 112* runs in his previous game was nearly dismissed early, but Riyan Parag couldn't complete the catch. 

Parag had been questioned by fans for his 'attitude' of late, and he didn't help himself on Friday as the Assamese youngster missed a golden opportunity to get rid of Patidar early, who was looking like a threat after he got the reprieve.

Fans on Twitter were not so pleased with Parag's effort, and while some questioned his 'attitude', others trolled him for his fielding. 

Here's what netizens had to say about Parag:

Karma is a boomerang...

Talking about the match between RCB and RR, Faf du Plessis' side scored 157/8 in their respective 20 overs after batting first, courtesy of Rajat Patidar's 58 off 42 balls. Skipper Faf du Plessis scored 25 runs, Maxwell got 24, but it was the bowlers of Rajasthan who dominated from the get-go.

Prasidh Krishna got three wickets, and Obed McCoy also got three scalps to stop RCB from running away with it. 

RR thus need to score 158 to book a date with Gujarat Titans (GT) in the final of IPL 2022.
