Former India pacer Sreesanth praised Riyan Parag’s appointment as stand-in captain for Rajasthan Royals in the first three matches of IPL 2025.

Sreesanth highlighted Parag’s leadership experience at the domestic level and expressed confidence in his abilities.
Parag’s journey to leadership has been marked by resilience, as he struggled in previous IPL seasons but turned things around in 2024, earning his maiden India call-up. Sreesanth commended Parag for his performance and emphasized the importance of consistent performance and bouncing back from setbacks.
He encouraged young players to take inspiration from Parag’s success, stating that age and background do not matter as long as one performs well. Rajasthan Royals will kick off their campaign against Sunrisers Hyderabad on March 23.
Sreesanth’s comments on Parag’s captaincy and journey serve as a testament to the young player’s determination and growth in the cricketing world.
