Rajasthan Royals will play without their key player, Sanju Samson, and now they will have a new captain, Riyan Parag, for IPL 2026. With Parag looking to do well in his first season as full-time captain, RR will also depend on the new recruit Ravindra Jadeja to provide much-needed stability to the team.
However, Jadeja and Sam Curran have joined RR, while Samson made his way to the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) via trade as well. However, Sam Curran was ruled out due to a groin injury, and Dasun Shanaka has been named as his replacement. RR will start their campaign at home in Guwahati against CSK on March 30 as well.
Meanwhile, the onus will be on the openers, Yashasvi Jaiswal and the talented young batter Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. While Jaiswal has been a top performer for the franchise, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has impressed everyone with his stunning batting style.
