Before IPL 2026, Sanju Samson decided to leave Rajasthan Royals, Dhoni’s nephew will be the new captain of the team
Before IPL 2026 (IPL 2026), a bad news is coming from Rajasthan Royals. According to media reports, the coach of the team Rahul Dravid has decided to leave the team, while Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson has also decided to leave the team, so the biggest question is if Sanju Samson leaves the team then who will be the captain of Rajasthan Royals?
After Sanju Samson, if we talk about the next captain of Rajasthan, then the team has 2 options for this, the first name is of Ryan Parag, then the second name is of Yashasvi Jaiswal. In such a situation, let us know how the figures of these two players are.
Ryan Parag has captained Rajasthan Royals
Nothing is going well in the team of Rajasthan Royals. The team’s head coach Rahul Dravid has left the team and resigned from his post. The real reason for Rahul Dravid leaving the post of coach is believed that the team has been divided into 3 groups. The first group believes that Ryan Parag should be the captain of Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2026.
The other group believes that Yashasvi Jaiswal should be made the captain of the team of Rajasthan Royals, while the third group believes that Sanju Samson should be maintained with the team and he should remain the captain of the team in IPL 2026. In such a situation, let us know who should be the captain of the team after Sanju Samson’s departure from Ryan Parag and Yashasvi Jaiswal.
Talking about the captaincy in Ryan Parag’s T20 format, this player has captained a total of 17 T20 matches for Assam, during this time Assam has won 10 matches, while Rajasthan Royals (Rajasthan Royals) also captained Sanju Samson during IPL 2025, during which he won the team in 8 matches and won only 2.
Yashasvi Jaiswal’s captaincy figures are not better
Yashasvi Jaiswal is a great opener batsman, but he is a little behind as a captain. Yashasvi Jaiswal has not captained any domestic tournament or Indian team till date, along with this, he has not been able to captain till now in the IPL, so if we talk about the captaincy experience, then Ryan Parag is better than Yashasvi Jaiswal in this matter.
In such a situation, if Sanju Samson leaves the team before IPL 2026, then the team of Rajasthan Royals (Rajasthan Royals) can make Ryan Parag as the captain of the team, while Yashasvi Jaiswal can be made the vice -captain of the team.
Significantly, Ryan Parag’s father has played cricket with Mahendra Singh Dhoni, during that time Ryan Parag was very young and Mahendra Singh Dhoni used to be called Uncle. In such a situation, there is a relationship between uncle and nephew between Dhoni and Ryan Parag.
