Riyan Parag expressed his displeasure over the third umpire’s decision during the IPL 2025 match against Gujarat Titans.
The Rajasthan Royals looked in fine touch before he was dismissed caught behind but he didn’t look impressed with the decision and even had a chat with the umpire before leaving the field.
It was the first over after powerplay and Gujarat Titans brought Kulwant Khejroliya into the attack to break the dangerous stand between Sanju Samson and Parag.
The left-arm pacer got the job done on the fourth ball when the umpire gave Parag out caught behind.
However, Parag straightaway took the DRS as he was confident about not getting the edge and indicated that the ball hit the ground, which resulted in a loud sound. The replay showed a spike as the ball passed the bat, and the third umpire didn’t change the decision shell-shocked Parag, and he even argued with the on-field umpire.
Later, Gujarat Titans senior pacer Mohammed Siraj talked to Parag and patted his back when he returned to the pavilion.
