Riyan Parag's poor performance in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 has been a topic of discussion among cricket fans on social media. In the match against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), Parag once again failed to deliver when his team needed him the most, scoring just 15 runs off 12 balls. This has led to criticism from fans and pundits alike, with many questioning his place in the playing XI for Rajasthan Royals (RR).
Parag's numbers in the IPL 2023 so far have been dismal. In the 5 matches he has played, he has scored just 54 runs at an average of 13.50 and a strike rate of 112.50. These are not the numbers expected from a player who is touted as one of the bright young talents in Indian cricket.
Twitter has been abuzz with criticism of Parag's performances. Many fans have expressed their disappointment and frustration with the young cricketer, calling for his replacement in the team. Some have even questioned the management's decision to persist with him despite his poor form.
One fan tweeted, "Riyan Parag has been given too many chances. He is not delivering for the team. It's time to give someone else a chance." Another fan wrote, "I am tired of watching Riyan Parag failing again and again. It's time to drop him from the team and give someone else a chance."
Some fans have also criticized Parag's approach to batting. They feel that he is not taking enough risks and is not able to rotate the strike effectively. One fan tweeted, "Riyan Parag needs to learn how to take risks and score quickly. He is playing too defensively and is not helping the team's cause."
The criticism of Parag's performances has put the spotlight on the selection policy of the Rajasthan Royals management. Some fans feel that there are better options available in the squad who can perform better than Parag. They have called for changes in the team's batting order and the inclusion of other players in the playing XI.
