While Yashasvi Jaiswal’s restricted opportunities and Jos Buttler’s inconsistent play may be blamed for their failures, Riyan Parag, who had previously shown the ability to significantly help the Rajasthan Royals, received harsh criticism for his persistently subpar performances.
In addition to this, several online users claimed that Parag received preferential treatment despite his subpar performances, stoking suspicions of favoritism and nepotism.
The issue was further fueled by the fact that Ranjit Barthakur, the executive chairman of the Rajasthan Royals, and Parag are both Assamese natives. Many netizens alleged that they both are family to each other. Due to this, Ranjit Barthakur has become a trending topic of discussion, with many people trying to find out more about him. So, here’s what we know about him:
