According to the latest reports, Jadeja is expected to lead the Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2026 if the trade deal goes through.
According to a report by News18 CricketNext, Ravindra Jadeja is likely to take over as captain of Rajasthan Royals for the IPL 2026 season.
Jadeja has requested the captaincy role, expressing his wish to lead a franchise in the final phase of his IPL career. Rajasthan’s management is also open to the idea of appointing a new leader.
While Riyan Parag temporarily captained RR last season in Sanju Samson's absence, the franchise management believes Jadeja’s vast experience and leadership skills make him the ideal candidate to guide the team.
