Following the ownership change, social media speculation emerged regarding the Rajasthan team’s captaincy. The new management was rumored to be considering a change, with claims that they preferred opening batter Yashasvi Jaiswal over current skipper Riyan Parag for the marquee tournament.
The circulating claims suggesting that the new management demanded an urgent leadership change to boost overall brand value remain entirely baseless and factually incorrect.
The franchise remains committed to its current direction, and Riyan Parag will lead the squad when the highly anticipated tournament begins later this week.

This was the reason for making Riyan Parag the captain. The owner knew that before being sold to RR, Riyan could get good fame and a place in the Indian team..and the new owner will definitely make Jaiswal the captain. pic.twitter.com/1jtBG6Gl6h

RR having only men's team sold at $1.63bn & RCB having both men's & women's team sold at $1.78bn. RCB have been undervalued here since they are far superior in terms of brand value & popularity. It is likely that RR will get a new captain in Jaiswal next year. #IPL2026 #RR #RCB
