Riyan Parag is all set to captain Rajasthan Royals for the first three matches of IPL 2025 as regular skipper Sanju Samson is yet to be cleared by BCCI’s Centre of Excellence. Sanju Samson will either play as a pure batter or an impact substitute during these matches.
On the elevations of Riyan Paras as Rajasthan Royals captain for the next few matches, the franchise – in a statement said – “Having been a crucial member of the Royals setup over the years, his understanding of the team’s dynamic makes him well-equipped to step into this role for the initial phase of the tournament,”
Meanwhile, RR also posted a video of Sanju Samson announcing Parag as the skipper for the next 3 matches.
“I am actually not completely fit for next three more games. so there are a lot of leaders in this group. I think in the last few years, there are some great people who have taken care of this environment really nicely. but for the next three games. Riyan rihanna will be leading the team” Samson said in the video.
