During a recent RR vs KKR IPL game held in Guwahati, a pitch invader touched Riyan Parag’s feet and hugged him to show his appreciation for the batter. However, fans had interesting reactions on social media, calling it a PR stunt by Parag.

RR appointed Riyan Parag as stand-in captain for the first three games of the IPL 2025 season as Sanju Samson is nursing a finger injury. In his debut as IPL captain, he faced a brutal 44-run defeat against SRH.

Meanwhile, Parag returned to his home ground in Guwahati for RR’s game against KKR. In the second inning, a heartwarming moment unfolded.

RR posted 151 runs on the board batting first. In the second inning, KKR had a strong start as Quinton de Kock hit a half-century. Amid the gripping contest, a fan from the stands breached security and jumped into the ground.

The pitch invader rushed to Riyan Parag and touched his feet and also hugged him before security took him out. The moment demonstrated the love people of Guwahati have for their homeboy. 

However, fans on social media mocked Parag instead with sarcastic messages, with many users calling it a PR game.

"No way you risk getting fined, jailed or probably banned from the stadium to touch Riyan Parag's feet?" - @internetumpire

"Never knew Riyan Parag has such strong PR game." - @sarcaster_

"Even Kohlison Riyan Parag has a bigger fanbase than Rohit Sharma." - @sigma__male_

"So, Riyan Parag hired a boy and paid him 10,000 Rs to come onto the ground and touch his feet. What an attention seeker this guy is!." - @niiravmodi

"Bhai riyan parag etna god level kb ho gya??" - 

Meanwhile, Parag contributed 25 runs in the first inning as the pitch was tricky to bat on for RR. In the second inning, he pulled off a brilliant run-out to dismiss Moeen Ali and get a crucial breakthrough for his side. However, Quinton de Kock took the game away with a blazing knock.
