Rajasthan Royals’ (RR) Riyan Parag is certainly a livewire on the cricket field. Whether he holds the bat or performs the role of a fielder, Parag always seems to enjoy his time out there in the park.

On Saturday (April 24), cricket fans once again got a glimpse of Parag’s entertaining character as he produced a unique celebration after taking the catch to dismiss Kolkata Knight Riders’ Pat Cummins.

During the 20th over of KKR’s innings, Cummins smashed a delivery from Chris Morris but couldn't pick the gap as Parag grabbed the catch neatly near the deep mid-wicket boundary.

After completing the catch, Riyan Parag came up with a mock selfie celebration alongside teammate Rahul Tewatia, using the ball as the imaginary mobile.

Here’s the video:

Coming to the match, KKR posted a below-par 133/9 in 20 overs after being asked to bat first. It was a disappointing batting card as Rahul Tripathi was the top scorer with 26-ball 36.

For RR, Chris Morris was the stand-out bowler, claiming 4 wickets by conceding 23 runs in his four overs.
