Rajasthan Royals clinched their first win of IPL 2025 with a narrow 6-run victory over Chennai Super Kings. However, instead of celebrating, RR captain Riyan Parag found himself at the center of a social media storm. The reason? A controversial selfie moment that has left fans fuming.
The match was held at Parag’s home ground in Guwahati, where he enjoys immense local support. After the game, some excited fans approached him for a selfie. While he obliged and took the photo, what he did next shocked everyone—he casually tossed the phone back instead of handing it over properly. Luckily, a fan managed to catch it before it hit the ground.
This act didn’t sit well with fans, who immediately took to social media to criticize Parag. Many called him out for having an inflated ego despite not delivering consistently on the field.
One user wrote: "Attitude 🗿 Performance 🤡", while another commented, "So much attitude for what exactly?"
So far, Parag hasn’t set the tournament on fire with his batting. In three matches, he has managed only 66 runs. While he played a crucial 37-run knock in the last game, it was Nitish Rana’s explosive 81 off 36 balls that truly powered Rajasthan to 182/8.
Bohot attitude hai

On the bowling side, Rajasthan’s defense was led by Wanindu Hasaranga (4 wickets) and Jofra Archer (1/13 in 3 overs), securing a tight victory. CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad (63 off 44) and Ravindra Jadeja (32 off 22) fought hard but fell short.
Parag’s on-field contributions remain inconsistent, yet his behavior continues to make headlines. Fans argue that he needs to focus more on his game than his attitude. With the tournament still in its early stages, he has a chance to silence critics with his performances—if he lets his bat do the talking.
