Riyan Parag, the young captain of Rajasthan Royals, has found himself at the center of online trolling once again, this time due to a performance by Bollywood actress Sara Ali Khan at IPL 2025.
The incident has reignited discussions surrounding Parag’s controversial YouTube search history, which previously included the names of Sara Ali Khan and Ananya Panday.
The controversy first erupted during a live stream where Parag inadvertently revealed his YouTube search history, which contained explicit queries related to the two actresses.
This revelation quickly went viral, leading to widespread trolling and mockery from netizens. Many took to social media to criticize the cricketer, turning him into a target for jokes and memes.
In response to the backlash, Riyan Parag later clarified that the incident had been blown out of proportion. He explained that he had opened his YouTube app to find copyright-free music for his stream when the search history was accidentally displayed.
Parag claimed that he had no knowledge of how those particular searches appeared and suggested that someone from his Discord gaming community may have attempted to set him up.
He stated, “I didn’t think it was good enough a reason for me to go out publicly and clarify everything and no one would understand.”
Despite the initial uproar, Parag continued to focus on his cricketing career and had an impressive season in IPL 2024, finishing as Rajasthan Royals’ top run-scorer. His performance helped him earn a spot in India’s white-ball formats.
Now, with Sara Ali Khan set to perform at IPL 2025, netizens have reignited their trolling of Parag, humorously suggesting that he might be watching her performance closely given their previous association in discussions.
The juxtaposition of his past controversy with the current event has led to a flurry of memes and jokes on social media platforms.
While some fans express their support for Parag, others continue to poke fun at him over the incident. The young cricketer seems to be taking it all in stride as he prepares for his upcoming matches in the tournament.
As IPL 2025 progresses, Riyan Parag remains a figure of interest both on and off the field, with fans eagerly watching how he handles the scrutiny while aiming for success with Rajasthan Royals.
