Not taking Riyan Parag's side but his comparison with Virat is bit weird.
Virat opened a inning and sometimes bats at 3, which means he had more balls to face in every match. On the other hand Parag bats at number 6 position and only gets to bat limited amount of balls so it's kinda obvious he's not going to outscore Kohli. Even Dinesh karthik who was in God Mode throughout this season scored less runs than Kohli.

I agree that Parag can't be compared with Kohli. But please tell me why this guy is in the team. What is his contribution to Rajasthan Royals? He can't bat and he can't bowl. And he has dropped more catches than anyone else in the team. What makes him so special that he has appeared in all the 16 matches played by RR so far in this season? On top of that, he has behaved quite arrogantly on the field. Remember his reaction after he took the catch of Stoinis? Matthew Hayden (commentator for that match) came down heavily on Parag then.

I agree that in every season he plays 1 blinder out of nowhere and then ride full season as freeloader. One could only hope that he'll learn.
His behaviour is irritating sometime but what do you expect from 20 yo kid? Or may be we are getting old and cranky at the same time.
I think he's an excellent fielder, specially at outfield. He did dropped couple of sitters but he also took fine catches and leading the most catches in IPL 2022 tally .

Being a good player is never an excuse for behaving like a dumb person. Anyway, he is also not a good player at all Grin

.

If you think this should be the behavior of a 20 year old, I think that 20-year-olds that I have seen in my time were a lot different, because they would be actions taken against a 20-year-old who absolutely cannot play worth anything and behaves like a total Maniac.

I will not say that he is an excellent fielder. He might be good but not excellent. Anyway, after all, I have one thing to say to him, ""Get better"".
