By IANS News February 13, 2026 • 17:16 PM View: 554

Chennai Super Kings: Rajasthan Royals have appointed Riyan Parag as their new captain for the IPL 2026 season, marking the beginning of a fresh chapter for one of the league’s original franchises.

The announcement comes after former skipper Sanju Samson was traded to Chennai Super Kings ahead of the auction, bringing an end to his four-season tenure at the helm.

A total of seven captains have led Rajasthan Royals since 2008, guiding the franchise to one IPL title and six knockout appearances. Interestingly, only Australians and Indians have captained the side in the tournament’s history.
