Summary: As Sanju Samson is still recovering, Riyan Parag will lead the team for three initial matches.

This is a big opportunity for Riyan Parag and he gets the role of Rajasthan Royals captain for the first three matches since Sanju Samson is in recovery mode. Riyan is known for his fearless batting and energy on the field, ever since the announcement, fans are buzzing.

Riyan Parag, who is only 22, will take on the enormous responsibility of coaching an IPL team, which is a fantastic chance for him. He has been with the Royals since 2019, so he knows the team well, but guiding them is a very different issue.

RR's management trusts Parag's leadership abilities and aggressive approach, which could bring new energy to the team as they launch their campaign. Fans are excited, but are worried if he can manage the pressure.

Samson sustained the injury after being hit by a bouncer from Jofra Archer during India's five-match T20I series against England. After the injury, he had surgery to repair the broken finger. In Samson's absence behind the stumps, Dhruv Jurel will most likely take up wicketkeeping duties in the Royals' first three matches.

With Parag in the lead, the Rajasthan Royals will want to kick off IPL 2025 with a boom. He will lead a star-studded squad that includes Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Trent Boult. Who knows what might happen if he does well? This may mark the start of something larger for the youthful all-rounder.
