However, the Rajasthan Royals still face the toughest task, as they are yet to select their captain after Sanju Samson’s departure. Last season, Riyan Parag led the 2008 IPL champions in 8 matches, winning 2 and losing 6 games. It was the Assam all-rounder’s debut season as the IPL captain.

Amidst the speculations and dilemma, Riyan Parag is staying relaxed, saying he is not thinking too much about the Rajasthan Royals' captaincy right now. Parag was quoted as saying by Sportstar, “I captained in seven to eight matches in the IPL last season. In the dressing room, when we would analyze decisions, I have done things right 80 to 85 percent.”
RR to take a decision on captaincy after IPL 2026 auction
The Assam star further noted, “Manoj [Badale] sir has said the decision [on captaincy] will be taken after the auction. If I think about that now, I will ruin my mental space. If the team management feels I am the right fit for captaincy, I am ready to put my hand up. If they feel that, as a player, I can contribute more, I am ready for that also.”
Captaincy is not easy: Riyan Parag
Parag also shared that captaincy is not as simple as it looks, having led the Rajasthan Royals last season. Apart from making decisions on the field, a captain needs to attend several meetings, handle sponsor duties, and face the media regularly.
On the other hand, Sanju Samson is all set to play only as a player for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the IPL 2026, and Ruturaj Gaikwad will return as their captain after missing the majority of the season earlier this year. In Gaikwad’s absence, MS Dhoni led CSK in the IPL 2025.
