Ahead of the start of the IPL 2023, Riyan Parag had confessed on Twitter that he feels he will hit 4 sixes in an over at some point during the tournament.

“My inner conscience says i’m hitting 4 sixes in an over at some point this IPL,” Parag’s tweet read.

With one-third of the league stage done and dusted, it is fair to say that things have not gone according to Riyan Parag‘s plans and wishes.

In 4 innings, Riyan Parag has scored 39 runs at a strike rate of 108 with 2 sixes and 2 fours

His best score was of 20 and the rest three innings have been single-digit scores. He was also dropped from one game.

Riyan Parag’s overall IPL career, too, hasn’t lit up as his talent and expectations would do justice to. Having made his debut in 2019, in 41 innings, Parag has scored 564 runs at an average of 16 with a strike rate of 123 with a couple of half-centuries.

Riyan Parag’s latest failure against the Gujarat Titans sparked a memefest on Twitter. Against the Titans, in Ahmedabad, the 21-year-old Assam batsman managed only 5 runs off 7 balls and was dismissed by leg-spinner Rashid Khan.

This failure, another one, was certainly leading to fans trolling the 21-year-old. For fans, not just his low scores on the field, but there has been an “attitude” disagreement between fans and the youngster.

Nonetheless, here are some hilarious memes on Riyan Parag:

Meanwhile, Rajasthan Royals moved to the top of the points table with their 4th win of the season out of 5 matches. They defeated Gujarat Titans, against whom they had lost three times last season.

GT scored 177 runs with 45 and 46 from Gill and Miller respectively. The Royals lost Jaiswal and Buttler early in the chase. However, Sanju Samson brought out his best to smash 60 runs off 32 balls. After Samson it was the Hetmyer show, the left-handed West Indian blasted 56 runs off 26 balls to take RR over the line in the last over.

Speaking in the post-match presentation, Samson said: “When you play quality opponents on a quality wicket, you get such games. Very happy to compete in such a game and come out on top. It was important to rotate our bowlers, they were playing some quality cricket and we had to respect that. The whole team came up well today and we could restrict them to around 170. The start we had, it shows how good a wicket this was. The new ball the quality of swing bowling was good and we had to respect that. But today Zampa coming was a way to match-up with the opponents. He was the match-up for Miller and almost got the wicket, but the catch was dropped. (On Hetmyer) He doesn’t like easy situations, we like putting him in such situations because he usually wins us games from such situations.”
