Harshal Patel refuses to shake hands with Riyan Parag

Two young talents, Harshal Patel and Riyan Parag who are showcasing their skills and abilities for their respective franchise were at loggerheads during the match. Unfortunately, the incident went on even after the match ended and the fans are not too happy with the way Harshal Patel has reacted to the whole situation which took place during the contest and should have ended there only.

Riyan Parag displayed his talent in the match as he scored an unbeaten fifty for his team and took Rajasthan to a respectable total. Riyan took Harshal to the cleaners in the last over, post which both the players were seen exchanging words.

Riyan hit two maximums and a boundary off the last over which Harshal Patel was bowling. After bowling the last delivery of the 20^th over which was hit for a six, Patel and Riyan got into an ugly argument and the support staff had to intervene to calm things down.

While playing in a tense contest, things like these keep happening and the players don’t take them out of the ground. However, in this case, Harshal Patel took the incident way too seriously as he refused to shake hands with Riyan Parag after the match ended.
