Riyan Parag, who captained in some matches last season, said that his team's performance was not good at the end of the last season but this time he will not make any such mistake. He said, 'Last time we made a lot of mistakes in the last five matches but this time it will not happen.
Riyan Parag gave license to Vaibhav Suryavanshi to attack from the first ball
New Delhi. Rajasthan Royals captain Ryan Parag said on Thursday that just as no one can replace Rohit Sharma or Virat Kohli, similarly the absence of Sanju Samson in his team cannot be filled. Samson captained the Royals from 2021 to 2025. The Royals traded him to Chennai Super Kings before the season and replaced him with Ravindra Jadeja. Talking about the balance of the team, he said that he has great confidence in Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Yashasvi.
Parag said in the pre-season press conference, 'If you are talking about Sanju bhaiya, then you cannot even think of replacing a player like him with anyone else. We can find players with similar skills or ask someone else to bat in his place. He said, 'Just like there is no alternative to Virat Kohli or Rohit Sharma, similarly there can be no alternative to Sanju bhaiya because he is a very good player. Sanju is the player who has played the most matches and scored the most runs for Rajasthan Royals. He recently performed well in the T20 World Cup and won the best player award of the tournament.
License has been given to Vaibhav
Parag said, 'We cannot win the match on the strength of any one player. It would be wrong to say that only Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Suryavanshi can lead the team to victory. The entire team will have to perform well and the team is ready for it. The Royals captain said that he has advised young player Vaibhav Suryavanshi to stay away from the media. He said, 'I have asked Vaibhav to play his natural game. I have told him to just concentrate on hitting the ball and if there is any kind of pressure, Yashasvi will handle it.
There is no room for error in the game plan
Riyan Parag, who captained in some matches last season, said that his team's performance was not good at the end of the last season but this time he will not make any such mistake. He said, 'Last time we made a lot of mistakes in the last five matches but this time it will not happen. We will enter the field with full preparation. Believe me, this time Rajasthan Royals will definitely win the cup.
Coach and captain on one page
Parag said, 'Rajasthan Royals has been like home for me since the first day of IPL. Now leading this team is very special for me and I fully accept this responsibility. I am excited to play intelligent cricket together with our coaches and leadership group. Royals head coach Kumar Sangakkara is confident that the team will perform well under the captaincy of Ryan Parag. He said, 'Ryan has shown composure under pressure. Has presented a brilliant example of his good understanding of cricket. Already being a part of the leadership group, he has got the respect of the dressing room. We are confident that he will perform brilliantly in the role of captain.
