New Delhi, March 31 -- Riyan Parag became a victim of social media backlash despite leading Rajasthan Royals to their first victory in three matches in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 on Saunday. Leading the side in the absence of regular skipper Sanju Samson (playing as a pure batter), the Assamese cricketer tasted his first win as a captain at the top level when Rajasthan Royals produced a superb all-round effort to beat Chennai Super Kings by a narrow six runs at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium.

With that win, Rajasthan Royals completed their Guwahati leg on a higher note in IPL 2025. However, the victory was marred by the outrage among fans following Riyan Parag's behaviour with the groundstaff.
