Rajasthan Royals will have another tour IPL 2022 trophy after losing to Gujarat Titans in Qualifier 1. To book a berth in the grand finale, Sanju Samson’s RR will lock horns with Eliminator winners and Faf du Plessis’ Royal Challengers Bangalore in Qualifier 2 on Friday. In short, it’s Royal vs. Royal. Correct? But this isn’t so easy. Not for IPL fans who don’t forget. Because for many it is Harshal Patel vs Riyan Parag.
Why?
Just a month ago, RCB’s Harshal Patel refused to shake hands with Rajasthan Royals’ Riyan Parag during the customary post-match meeting of players of both the teams.

During his innings, Parag hit three fours and four sixes and ended RR’s innings in style as he dismissed Harshal Patel for 18 in the 20th over. Soon after Parag hit Patel at the deep mid-wicket boundary, a heated argument broke out between the two players, forcing a member of the RR coaching staff to pacify the bowler.
Parag’s 56 off 31 balls helped RR post a respectable score of 144/8. In reply, RCB were bundled out for just 115 runs.

Parag recently courted controversy for his “immature” performance on the field as fans asked the 20-year-old cricketer to keep his “attitude” under control.

During Qualifier 1 against Gujarat Titans, Parag faced heat on social media for stabbing Ravichandran Ashwin to death during a mix-up from 22 yards. If that wasn’t enough, Parag was furious at his own teammate Devdutt Padikkal for “slowing down” during a relay throw near the boundary ropes, which left some fans sore.
