IPL 2026: Very Important For Sooryavanshi To Not Let Success Or Failure Get To His Head, Says Pathan
Indian Premier League: Former India left-arm fast bowler Irfan Pathan has urged caution in managing teenaged batting sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, adding that its very important for the left-hander to not let either success or failure get to his head. Sooryavanshi is yet to turn 15, but has already made big runs in his cricketing career so far, including being the fastest Indian batter to hit a century in the IPL (in just 35 balls), and was retained by Rajasthan Royals (RR) ahead of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. Hes also coming on the back of being Player of the Tournament and Player of the Final in the 2026 Mens U19 World Cup, won by India. It is very important for Vaibhav Sooryavanshi not to let success or failure get to his head. Its quite a sensitive age because he is just about 15 years old. At this stage, he potentially has a 20-year professional career ahead of him. In todays time, where longevity is not always a priority and careers can be short, you can still achieve a lot in 6 to 8 years. But Vaibhav could have a much longer journey. Naturally, it is important that someone consistently stays with him as a guide, a good mentor who can support him over time, the role Rahul Dravid played last year, said Pathan on JioStar. He also spoke about how Sooryavanshi needs to constantly improve his game to stay ahead of the oppositions plans to counter him. At the same time, he must keep improving his game constantly. It is possible that this season, teams may plan against him, like bowling consistently outside the off stump and keeping the ball away from his reach. He will need to counter that, even if it comes with the risk of getting out. Also, he might face the same challenges that Abhishek Sharma did, different types of bowling and constant variations in pace, so how he adapts and finds ways to score in those situations will be key. Ex-India opener Aakash Chopra said Sooryavanshis fearless approach must be tempered with consistency in IPLs high-pressure environment. If the first one is there to be hit, I will go for it is a very good philosophy. But if it happens three times that you go for the first ball and, God forbid, you dont connect properly and get out, that is when problems start. The IPL is a different beast. He will need to counter that, even if it comes with the risk of getting out. Also, he might face the same challenges that Abhishek Sharma did, different types of bowling and constant variations in pace, so how he adapts and finds ways to score in those situations will be key. Also Read: Live Cricket Score He got some exposure last year, when Rahul Dravid was there as well, and you could see tears in his eyes after getting out in one of the games. This time, there are expectations, and he will carry that burden. Even though we are talking about him, saying that Vaibhav Sooryavanshi will come and score runs, so in that regard, it is a huge season for him, he added. Article Source: IANS

IPL 2026: Rajasthan Royals Skipper Parag Targets Better Planning For Finishing Games
Indian Premier League: Rajasthan Royals captain Riyan Parag said the teams focus for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season would be on planning better and closing out matches, after narrow defeats led to them finishing at ninth place in IPL 2025. RR lost five matches in chases by margins of 11 runs or fewer, including a Super Over defeat against Delhi Capitals. To solve that issue, they have strengthened their finishing unit with the addition of all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran, as well as trading in Donovan Ferreira, though hes recently returned to action after suffering a shoulder injury in this years SA20. This year, the focus is to plan better and finish games, which we couldnt do in the previous edition. I feel we have to plan well. Last year, there were about five or six games that we lost in the last over or even on the last ball. Had we been able to convert those, or had we calculated better, or even hit one more four or six, this question would not have been asked because we would have qualified (for the playoffs) by winning those matches. I think that in every T20 game, there are 3-4 decisions that you have to make that change the course of the game. I know in a 40-over game, there are a lot of small decisions, as well as major decisions like who will bat where, and what we will do after winning the toss. If we take those small decisions with strategy and planning, this year will be different, Parag said in a pre-season press conference on Thursday. Parag also spoke about the huge void left by Sanju Samsons departure to Chennai Super Kings (CSK), saying that replacing him in the side is akin to replacing batting stalwarts like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in the Indian team. If you talk about Sanju bhaiya, we never think about replacing the kind of player he is. We can perhaps look for someone with a similar skillset or have someone bat in his position. Its like there is no replacement for Virat Kohli or Rohit Sharma, and in the same way, there is no replacement for Sanju bhaiya because he is such a good player, Parag added. Parag, 24, has played an ODI and nine T20Is for India in 2024 and revealed he has been managing a shoulder injury since going under the knife in the same year. In 2024, when I debuted for the country, I played three back-to-back tours. I don't know if you saw that, but right before the Indian team went to South Africa, there was a small note at the bottom of the team. When the Indian squad came out, I was left out due to a shoulder injury. Since then, I have not been at 100 percent with my shoulder. That is why I have not been in the Indian squad, or not been considered for it, because I would not like to play cricket for my country that way. I am pretty sure the BCCI knows it as well that till the time my shoulder is 100 percent fit, I would not be considered for the Indian team. That is why I have been left out. As far as coming back to it, firstly, I think about having a great season in the IPL - collectively as a team, not really thinking a lot about individual things or stats, or I need to get 600-700 runs. For me, leading this franchise, having so many years with them, so many connections, emotions, and just love for the franchise, and all I am trying to do this year is try to win the IPL. I think we have a team that can win the IPL, and that is my sole focus right now. Once that is over, I can think about my personal things, which is coming back to the Indian team and whatnot after that - so that is the plan, he said. Parag signed off by saying he was prepared to contribute with the ball if required. I feel we spoke about this last year before this league started. It was finding the right match-up for the wicket and the teams that I can go against. For me, leading this franchise, having so many years with them, so many connections, emotions, and just love for the franchise, and all I am trying to do this year is try to win the IPL.

IPL 2026: RR Have Addressed Quite A Few Of The Things Ahead Of Upcoming Season, Says Sangakkara
Indian Premier League: Rajasthan Royals (RR) head coach Kumar Sangakkara said the franchise had worked to strengthen several areas of the squad ahead of the 2026 Indian Premier League (IPL) season, including batting depth and having more options in the spin bowling department. RR had a forgettable time in IPL 2025, suffering 10 defeats and winning only four games to finish ninth in the points table. After releasing all their spinners before the 2026 season auction, RR found a bankable Indian spinner in Ravi Bishnoi, as well as getting all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran via a trade deal. Well, we needed to handle our skills outside in terms of a little bit of batting depth, local spin, all-rounders, and more options that we had to have in this bowling department -- so that we can also rejig the batting line-up. So, that's what we have tried to address. With the trades we have one and some of the auction buys, we managed to address the local spin department so that we can then start looking at different options in terms of overseas batters, overseas fast bowlers, and that gives us a little bit more flexibility. So, we have addressed quite a few of the things that we wanted to address, said Sangakkara, while replying to a query from IANS in the pre-season press conference on Thursday. The former Sri Lanka captain added that the focus now shifts to execution, as RR open their campaign against CSK at the ACA Stadium in Guwahati on March 30. But again, we can have all the bases covered, everything done, and now it's really hard work where we try to get them all together, really believe in each other, and then really prepare well to start playing against the opposition. At the end of the day, the proof is in the pudding, and the strategy score is how they perform. But second to that, if everyone is here wanting to win, I do not doubt that -- whether it's Riyan and the team, or whether it's a different team, the real question is to try and really solve the how how are we going to do that? Then also, while doing that, I want this squad of players to have a wonderful time. You can't just concentrate on results and have just the results validate you. Players can have great seasons, good seasons, or bad seasons. However, that doesn't mean they're bad players, because the whole point of recruiting players is that we believe they're the best. Not just believe, the stats show that they are the best, and I want them to have a fantastic time with each other, really enjoy the ups and downs of the IPL, and really focus on playing the game at a time. I think once you try to break it down, the results will happen as they do, and we're hoping that the results will be more of them now than not before, he elaborated. On the appointment of Riyan Parag as RRs new captain post Samsons departure, Sangakkara said the decision was based on his leadership qualities rather than sticking to a regional identity. I am going to say one thing -- the homegrown part, whether he was from India or which part of India, there was nothing in our conversations about that. It was about finding the best person to captain and lead the part. I met Riyan when he was a teenager, and he is absolutely right. He has seen a lot, gone through a lot. The most striking thing for me was how reflective and mature he has become. So, Riyan Parag, the cricketer, I have always massively admired who he is. Even through the doubts, all I could see was where he could be, and that's right at the top. But more importantly, I really came to admire the person that Riyan Parag is. When we wanted to select a captain, once Sanju had decided to leave, it was really important that we explored all options. So, we had a short list of candidates, and we used a very strict interview process. We went through it, and Riyan knows it wasn't easy, he elaborated. The most striking thing for me was how reflective and mature he has become. So, Riyan Parag, the cricketer, I have always massively admired who he is. Even through the doubts, all I could see was where he could be, and that's right at the top. But more importantly, I really came to admire the person that Riyan Parag is. Also Read: Live Cricket Score It became very apparent that the right choice, the right person to lead Rajasthan Royals, was Riyan. We were extremely happy to make that decision. The most important thing is that the whole franchise, everybody involved in that process, the team, the coaches, everyone understands and backs it one hundred percent that the decision was made because Riyan Parag is absolutely the right candidate to captain and lead the Rajasthan Royals.

According to the coach, the preparation camp gives a better opportunity to the team management and the players to know each other and work towards a common goal. Okay, guys, some of us have been here before, some for many years, some for one year, some of you are new, right? So first things first, it's a great opportunity to just start talking to each other and getting to know each other, right? That's how we start into a season. Number two is to ease yourself into practice, right? We'll introduce ourselves one-on-one tomorrow, but talk to the coaches, tell us what you need, we will tell you what you need or what we need from you, not what you need, but what we need from you, Sangakkara said in a video released by Rajasthan Royals on X. It's always a nice collaboration, it's a partnership, right? That's how we all do things, okay? I like a relaxed attitude, I like people having fun, I like people talking, smiling, but when you're doing work, remember we all need to get something out of the time we're here, he added. Former Sri Lankan batter advised the team to use the practice time smartly and also remained hopeful for an amazing season with a team having some new faces. Use it smartly; you don't need to practice too long, you don't need to be too short, you need to be right so that everyone gets what they want and what they need, but it's really great to see you, he said. I look forward to a wonderful season. I look forward to getting to know all of you, and we're going to be a tight, tight group. Okay, that's all I have, man, Sangakkara concluded.

IPL 2026: Sanju Samson was Rajasthan Royal's face, his loss massive: Faf du Plessis
Sanju Samson's exit from Rajasthan Royals marks a major shift. Former captain Faf du Plessis highlights Samson's iconic status. Yashasvi Jaiswal now faces increased responsibility. Lakshmipathy Balaji expresses surprise at Riyan Parag's captaincy appointment. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi aims for consistency in his second season. Kumar Sangakkara's guidance will be key for the team.
'He Had Become The Face Of RR: Faf Calls Samson's Move To CSK Massive Thing For IPL
Former Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) Faf du Plessis reflected on the impact of Sanju Samsons departure, describing the India wicketkeeper-batsman as the face of the franchise for the last decade, and believes that RR losing Samson is a massive thing for the fans and the tournament. Samson was traded in from RR to Chennai Super Kings (CSK) ahead of the auction in a major move as the five-time champions traded out Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran to Rajasthan. The two sides will now face off in their respective campaign openers on March 30 at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati. If I look at the IPL and the teams, the iconic teams we see around the league, all of them have one marquee Indian player in common, someone who has been the face of the franchise for a period of time, Rohit Sharma, MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli. And Sanju Samson, for me, was that guy at Rajasthan Royals. Yes, he's of a newer generation, but he had become the face of that franchise. If I think of Rajasthan Royals, I think Sanju Samson. So, the fact that they've lost that face, I think, is a massive thing for the fans, for the IPL, and for the tournament, because he's played such a big role there, du Plessis told JioStar. Du Plessis also highlighted the challenge facing young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, who will have to adjust to new responsibilities in the batting line-up. The thing with Yashasvi Jaiswal is that he's had Sanju Samson, who has been such a huge, consistent performer within that batting line-up. So, when you have that consistency of runs from Sanju, it allows you to play your game. Now, you take that away, all of a sudden, people will look at him with more responsibility, he said. And for a player like him, you don't want him thinking about responsibility, you want him thinking, 'I want to take the game on. I want to hit as many sixes as possible.' So there's a learning curve that's going to come into his career this season, 'Am I true to the game that I've always played, or do I take up the senior player role to score the bulk of the runs?' So it'll be interesting to see how that goes. I think he'll still play in the way that he does. It would be silly not to, because he's such an attacking player, he added. The thing with Yashasvi Jaiswal is that he's had Sanju Samson, who has been such a huge, consistent performer within that batting line-up. So, when you have that consistency of runs from Sanju, it allows you to play your game. Now, you take that away, all of a sudden, people will look at him with more responsibility, he said. Also Read: Live Cricket Score So the versatility that you get from Sam Curran is very crucial for the team because he gives you an over in the powerplay, bowls his cutters in the middle, and is really good at death bowling, whether with yorkers or slower balls. So you're getting a lot of skill sets there. Also, he's bringing experience and captaincy support to a young captain in that dressing room. The more leaders you have around you, the better the support will be for Riyan, he added. Article Source: IANS
