Rajasthan Royals cricketer Riyan Parag was enmeshed in a heated exchange of words with Royal Challengers Bangalore's Harshal Patel in the Indian Premier League on Tuesday, 26 April.

Riyan Parag, who was completely responsible for Rajasthan Royal's respectable score, smashed Harshal Patel for 18 runs in the last over. As the players were leaving the field during the innings break, the duo got involved in an argument and had to be pulled back by other players.


Parag was seen exchanging some words with RCB pacer Mohammad Siraj before Patel walked into the exchange seemingly responding to something that Parag had said.

 

Chasing down the total of 145 runs in the second innings, RCB batting unit collapsed against the hard lengths of fast-bowler Kuldeep Sen who scalped four wickets in the game. RCB managed to get bundled out once again, this time with just 115 runs on board in 19.3 overs.

At the end of the match, when teams lined up to shake hands, Patel was seen pulling his hand away when Riyan Parag extended his. At the time of writing, neither players had been given sanctions by the Indian Premier League.

This was the second defeat for RCB in a row after getting drubbed horribly by Sunrisers Hyderabad in their previous game. They have fallen out of the top four in the league table, while Rajasthan have become the new table leader.
