Kris Srikkanth Calls Out RR for Parag’s Captaincy: Is It Favouritism?
Former star questions if Riyan Parag’s rise is all smoke and mirrors.
Kris Srikkanth, the 1983 World Cup hero, is stirring the pot over Riyan Parag's captaincy appointment at Rajasthan Royals. He claims the young gun has been treated like royalty, especially after the franchise's bold trade of Sanju Samson to CSK for Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran. Talk about throwing the dice in IPL 2026!
Parag, who first donned the Royals' colours in 2019, has now been handed the captaincy full-time. But is he really the right man for the job, or is this a case of management playing favourites? With big names like Jadeja and Jaiswal in the mix, the pressure's on the 21-year-old to deliver.
As the Royals gear up for the new season, Srikkanth’s comments could light a fire under Parag. It’s time for him to show he’s not just a name on the team sheet but a leader who can steer this ship. Will he rise to the occasion or crumble under the spotlight?
