Rajasthan Royals’ (RR) stand-in skipper Riyan Parag has come under fire from netizens after his alleged arrogant behavior was caught on camera after the IPL 2025 match between Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Guwahati on March 30.
RR had posted 182/9 with Nitish Rana top-scoring with 81 in 36 balls with 10 fours and 5 sixes. Riyan Parag (37) and Sanju Samson (20) were the other main contributors. For CSK, Khaleel Ahmed, Noor Ahmad, and Matheesha Pathirana took 2 wickets each.
In the chase, Ruturaj Gaikwad made 63 in 44 balls and held the innings together until he fell to Hasaranga as well. Ravindra Jadeja made 32* in 22 balls, while MS Dhoni, batting at 7, scored 16 runs. However, CSK could only manage 176/6 and lost the game by 6 runs.
This was RR’s first win in IPL 2025 and first win for Riyan Parag as RR captain as well. With Parag drawing large audiences because he was playing on his own ground, the ground crew was understandably eager to take a photograph with him.
However, after taking the photo, the 23-year-old tossed the phone to one of them with an attitude, and the staff barely managed to hold on to it.

His behavior with the IPL staff and his act of throwing the phone back nonchalantly without any care led to netizens asking questions about his attitude and poor conduct towards others.
