An old video is going viral where two of the most promising Indian stars, Tilak Varma and Riyan Parag were involved in a heated exchange during net sessions. The incident started on a lighter note with a bit of banter involved, but it tuned ugly as Tilak got angry with a statement made by Parag.

During net sessions, Tilak jokingly said to Parag that he got Nicholas Pooran's wicket in the IPL, seemingly boasting his bowling skills.

This didn't go well with Riyan Parag who took a dig and replied back by saying: "Yeah, after losing the game." This infuriated Tilak Varma who got angry at Parag and the duo had an heated exchange. The old video which has surfaced is during the time of the home series Vs Bangladesh.

Tilak selected in T20I squad, Parag neglected

Interestingly, when the India T20I squad for the England series was announced, Tilak Varma was included in the team, but there was no place for Riyan Parag.

Tilak Varma had a stellar T20I series Vs South Africa where he smacked two centuries to win matches for India. On the other hand, Parag, who had decent outings Vs Sri Lanka and Bangladesh was dropped for the series.

Both the players are stars for their IPL team

In a team filled with superstars, Tilak Varma has carved a name for himself and has become one of the mainstays for the Mumbai Indians.

On the other hand, after a slow start with the Rajasthan Royals, Riyan Parag finally reaped rewards when he had his best IPL season in 2024 and was one of the top retentions for his side prior to the mega auction.
