印度前队长克里斯纳马查利·斯里坎特质疑拉贾斯坦皇家对2026年IPL的球员选择,理由是帕拉格表现不一致以及更有经验的球員如Yashasvi Jaiswal,Dhruv Jurel和Ravindra Jadeja. Former India captain Krishnamachari Srikkanth has questioned Rajasthan Royals' choice of Riyan Parag as captain for the 2026 IPL, citing Parag’s inconsistent performances and the oversight of more experienced players like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel, and Ravindra Jadeja. 虽然帕拉格在2024赛季取得了突出成绩,并在2025年连续打进6个半球,但他在桑森受伤期间的领导记录很弱,仅有8场比赛中的两胜. Though Parag had a standout 2024 season and hit six consecutive sixes in 2025, his leadership record during Samson’s injury was weak, with only two wins in eight matches. 斯里坎特承认球队的强势开场对, 但表示阵容缺乏深度和一致性, 使季后赛资格成为50:50机会而不是一个严重的冠军竞争者. Srikkanth acknowledged the team’s strong opening pair but said the squad lacks depth and consistency, making playoff qualification a 50-50 chance and the team not a serious title contender. 根据这份声明, 萨姆森将被转会到奈超级国王队.
