Rajasthan Royals missed the golden opportunity to put Royal Challengers Bengaluru under pressure at the start of their chase as Riyan Parag dropped the big fish in Virat Kohli in the ongoing 28th IPL 2025 match at the Mansingh Sawai Stadium in Jaipur.
The drama unfolded in the very first ball of the fourth over during RCB’s chase against the RR in Jaipur. Virat Kohli, looking to go big, mistimed a lofted shot off Sandeep Sharma’s cross-seam delivery and off pace. The ball went high and straight towards long-on, creating an easy chance for Riyan Parag.

But to everyone’s shock, Riyan Parag, positioned under the ball with his sunglasses on, made a mess of it, as he let the catch slip through his hands. What made things worse was the miscommunication with teammate Tushar Deshpande, who was stationed at the mid-off and moved toward the ball but pulled out at the last moment, expecting Parag to complete the catch.

Parag was visibly furious after the drop and fired some words at Tushar, as he was blaming the RR bowler for coming in and then backing out at the last second. On the other hand, Tushar looked just as confused by the chaos. Well, RR botched the moment, giving Kohli a lifeline in the tense moment.
