NEW DELHI: Rajasthan Royals Riyan Parag found himself at the centre of controversy during their Indian Premier League 2025 clash against Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Wednesday, after a disputed dismissal saw him exchanging words with the on-field umpire.Chasing a daunting 218-run target, Rajasthan were struggling early at 12 for 2 when Parag walked in to join skipper Sanju Samson . The pair steadied the innings with a crucial 48-run stand, until drama unfolded in the seventh over.Facing pacer Kulwant Khejroliya , Parag attempted to guide the ball to third man but appeared to edge the delivery through to wicketkeeper Jos Buttler . The Royals batter instantly opted for a DRS review. Replays showed a spike on UltraEdge as the ball passed the bat, prompting the third umpire to uphold the on-field decision.However, Parag was visibly dissatisfied, seemingly convinced the spike came from his bat grazing the ground rather than an edge. He paused on his way back, engaging in a brief but tense exchange with the umpire before reluctantly leaving the field.It marked the end of a promising innings and left Royals in trouble at 60 for 3 in 6.4 overs. Parag's reaction highlighted his frustration with the call.
