The Rajasthan Royals (RR) is ready to enter a new era. After a successful period under Sanju Samson but still without a trophy since 2008, the inaugural champions are set to name a new captain. Samson was traded to the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) before IPL 2026 and two players, Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran, were added. Both are captaincy material but RR have stuck to a player in whom they have heavily invested. We are talking about Riyan Parag, who is set to be named as the new RR captain for IPL 2026.
On February 12, RR made an announcement that they would be revealing their new designated skipper on Friday. However, as per ESPNcricinfo, it will be none other than Parag, who has pipped the likes of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel and Jadeja to become the 7th designated captain for the pink franchise.
