Rajasthan Royals (RR) batter Riyan Parag has been all talk and no show in the ongoing IPL 2023. The talented Assamese batter is yet to step up with the bat despite continuous backing from the team management and being given chances to play at a particular spot.
This time the failure came against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in RR’s first IPL 2023 match at home in Jaipur, as they had played their previous two home games in Guwahati. Parag only managed to score an unbeaten 15-run knock in 12 balls as his side put 144 runs on the board in 20 overs, while chasing a target of 155.
In his 5 matches for the Royals this season, Parag has registered scores of 7, 20, 7, 5, and 15*. While a lot was expected from the Assam-based all-rounder, his performances haven't lived up to the expectations so far.
The youngster was the target of fans on Twitter and he was mercilessly made fun of for yet another disappointing display with the bat, especially when the team needed him to finish the match. While many criticized Sanju Samson and the Royals management for picking up Parag over and over again, with some wondering why he was sent ahead of Dhruv Jurel.
Here are some of the memes which were made on Riyan Parag:
