fans were very creative on the entire show as another asked that would he prefer one week of residence on an island with no internet connection or a week of only gaming and no social media interaction. He chose gaming over a sojourn on an island.

Rajasthan Royals currently dangles in the fifth position of the IPL table and will once again be resuming business after IPL kicks off in the latter half of the year.
This is when Riyan Parag lost his cool
Riyan Parag is one of the coolest cricketers in the team and he has never been seen losing his temper. However, there was one isolated incident when Shreyas Gopal recalled how Parag lost his temper.
He said, “In April, we were in quarantine, we were not allowed out of our room. It was getting very claustrophobic and boring in the room. So I picked up the phone and called up someone in the management, and I asked them for everyone’s room number. I called up each player and started pranking them, forcing them to come downstairs.”
He also added, “Obviously no one could come down, it was such a helpless situation for them, I was telling them some parcels are here, or their bags are here. I was telling them it was a proper big parcel and they needed to come down and sign it. I actually found out a hidden side of a few players, some of them got really angry and it sort of shook me. Some of them were even blasting me on the phone that was really fun.”
He finally concluded by saying, “Liam Livingstone was among the ones who got flustered the most. Dishant Yagnik was there, he actually lost the plot, he was on the verge of hitting me probably. Riyan Parag got very angry, I didn’t expect him to lose his temper, but that brought out the other side of him, it was a whole lot of fun!”
Riyan Parag will be raring to go all guns blazing as soon as the IPL resumes in September. Despite chronicling a lower run tally, his strike rate was overwhelming as it read 144.
