Riyan Parag to Captain Rajasthan Royals in Opening IPL Matches as Sanju Samson Recovers

Rajasthan Royals will have a fresh face leading them in the initial phase of the Indian Premier League (IPL) season, with 23-year-old Riyan Parag set to take charge for the first three games. Regular skipper Sanju Samson, recovering from a finger surgery, has been advised by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to avoid wicketkeeping duties for now.

Injury Sidelines Sanju Samson from Captaincy Duties

Samson’s injury dates back to a T20 International against England in Mumbai, where he suffered a finger fracture after being struck by a Jofra Archer delivery. A minor surgery followed, and while he has been cleared to bat, medical professionals at the BCCI’s Centre of Excellence have recommended additional rest before he resumes keeping wickets.

That means Samson, who has been a key figure for Rajasthan Royals, will play purely as a batter in the opening phase of the tournament. The Royals management, in agreement with the medical advice, decided to temporarily hand over the captaincy to Parag, one of the team’s promising young talents.

Youngest IPL Captains: Parag Joins Elite List

With this appointment, Riyan Parag joins an exclusive club of young IPL captains. At 23, he is one of the youngest to ever lead a franchise. However, the record for the youngest captain in IPL history still belongs to Virat Kohli, who led Royal Challengers Bengaluru at just 22.

Parag’s leadership in the early fixtures could serve as a major stepping stone in his career. Having been with the franchise since 2019, he has shown glimpses of brilliance with both bat and ball. The Royals seem to be placing their trust in his ability to steer the team in the absence of their regular leader.

Rajasthan Royals’ Early Fixture Challenge

Rajasthan Royals confirmed the news with an official statement, stating: “Riyan Parag will lead the team for the first three matches.”

The team’s early schedule is set to test Parag’s leadership skills:

  • March 23: Rajasthan Royals open their campaign against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
  • March 26: They face defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders in their first home game.
  • March 30: The last match under Parag’s captaincy will be against Chennai Super Kings.

The first three matches feature a mix of challenges, with seasoned squads testing the Royals’ depth and adaptability under a young skipper.

What This Means for Rajasthan Royals

Samson’s unavailability behind the stumps means Rajasthan Royals will have to make an additional tactical adjustment. The team will need a stand-in wicketkeeper, with possible candidates including Jos Buttler, Dhruv Jurel, or Tom Kohler-Cadmore, depending on the team composition for each match.

For Parag, the captaincy is a golden opportunity. If he performs well, it could mark the beginning of a new leadership chapter in his career. The Royals will be watching closely, as will the selectors, to see how the young all-rounder handles the pressure on one of the biggest stages in cricket.
