The Rajasthan Royals management appointed Parag as their new permanent skipper following the trade of Sanju Samson to Chennai Super Kings (CSK). The Assam-born cricketer was preferred for the role ahead of international stars like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel, and veteran all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja.
“Riyan Parag has captained Assam in domestic cricket. RR are a very systematic team; they would have interviewed him before making him the captain. I just hope they also put Yashasvi Jaiswal in the same pedigree and trust him to be the captain in the future."
“Riyan is still young, but he has played a decade of IPL cricket. It is such a big thing. I think Riyan, the captain, would have his task cut out. It is not that easy. Many youngsters want the captaincy in the IPL. They compete for it, they try and go hard for it,” he added.

“Handling an entire season, handling the roller coaster of wins and losses, won't be that easy. You have to discuss things with coaches. RR are a very systematic team. They hold many meetings there. He also has to look after his batting form," said Ashwin.
Riyan Parag Set For First Full-Time Captaincy Stint
The 2026 campaign will be the first full-time franchise captaincy stint for Riyan Parag. He previously led Rajasthan Royals in eight matches during the 2025 season while Sanju Samson recovered from injury, securing two wins and suffering six defeats.
