Sangakkara also highlighted Parag’s rapid learning curve and his ability to handle pressure, especially as a young player thrust into the limelight.
The decision to appoint Parag as captain was based on his growth and maturity as a player, as well as his willingness to embrace leadership responsibilities. Sangakkara praised Parag’s performance as captain in the last game and expressed confidence that he will continue to improve under the franchise’s support.
Overall, Sangakkara reiterated that Parag has the backing of the team and will be given the opportunity to develop and excel in his role as captain. Despite his current struggles with the bat, the Royals have faith in Parag’s potential and expect him to continue growing as a player and leader.
