Riyan Parag, a young Rajasthan batsman, talks about his clash with Bangalore's fast bowler Harshal Patel in the IPL.
The Gujarat Titans defeated the Rajasthan Royals in the 15th season of the IPL in India to clinch the trophy. Riyan Parag, the young Rajasthan Royals player in this IPL series, had come under heavy criticism for his behavior on the field
He continued to do his tricks, such as teasing umpires to check the ball when he was caught, behaving aggressively towards senior players on the field, and staring at opposing players. Many former players have advised him on this.
Meanwhile, during the match against Royal Challengers Bangalore, Riyan Parag slammed the team's fast bowler Harshal Patel. It turned into an argument between the two. Fellow players who saw this were persuaded and sent away Riyan Parag and Harshal Patel.
But their anger did not end there. Rajasthan won the match. Usually after the match the two team players shake hands with each other. When Riyan Parag then reached out to Harshal Patel, he moved without shaking Riyan's hands. The video went viral on the Internet.
In this case, Riyan Parag explains the conflict with Harshal Patel. In it, ‘Last year, Harshal Patel had dismissed me when we were playing against RCB. I was walking back. Then, he made a hand gesture telling me to go away. I didn't see that on the spot. I saw that when I went back to the hotel and saw the replay. It stuck in my mind since."
"Now, when I hit him (Harshal) in the last over (against RCB in IPL 2022), I did the same gesture. I didn't say anything, I didn't abuse. But then, Siraj called me and said, “Hey, come here, come here'. He said, 'you're a kid, behave like a kid'," he added. Riyan Parag, who has played 17 matches in this IPL season, has scored only 183 runs, including a fifty.
