Rajasthan Royals all-rounder Riyan Parag has once again become a bunny for the trolls on social media after dropping a sitter against arch-rivals Pakistan in the ongoing ACC Men's Emerging Cup. Playing for India A, Parag dropped a regulation catch while fielding at the slips. The incident occurred in the second over of Pakistan's innings. Parag dropped Saim Ayub's catch off Rajvardhan Hangargekar's bowling. 

3 things you need to know

  • Riyan Parag was handed his maiden India A Cup for the Emerging Cup 2022
  • Yash Dhull is leading the Indian team at the Men's Emerging Cup
  • India A and Pakistan A last played against each other back in July 2006

Although Hangargekar managed to pick up Saim's wicket in the 4th over of the innings, netizens still trolled the Indian cricketer for committing a costly mistake against Pakistan. Parag is often targeted by fans on social media for his poor performances across tournaments. Earlier this year, he became a victim of online trolling after failing to perform well for Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League. That catch that Parag dropped against Pakistan was easy and should have been taken comfortably.

Earlier, Pakistan captain Mohammad Haris won the toss and elected to field first at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Electing to bat first, Pakistan has already lost a couple of wickets, both going in the kitty of Hangargekar. He also dismissed Omair Yousuf for a duck on the last ball of the same over.
