‘Not easy to captain when the team is scoring 280 on a flat wicket’- Rahul Dravid backs Riyan Parag’s captaincy

Rahul Dravid discussed Riyan Parag’s performance in the IPL 2025 as a batsman and captain. After speaking with him, the RR head coach decided to try to give Parag as many balls as possible by moving him up the order. Dravid believed that the Royals will do better the more batting Parag did.

After all, let’s face it, Riyan is among our finest batters. Furthermore, we wish to offer him as many balls as we can. The RR Head Coach stated, “We do better as a team the more balls Riyan Parag bats for us, and twenty overs is a very short time.”

In his opinion, choices would be made by considering the match circumstances in the days ahead. However, we will continue to examine, evaluate, and observe these issues. Additionally, Dravid stated, “We have an option because we know Riyan has performed well at No. 4.

It didn’t appear like our group was in a panic. Rahul Dravid

In his two games thus far, Riyan has been captain, the former Indian coach mentioned. Leading the team on a level pitch when the opposition is hitting well was difficult for Dravid. Rahul went on to say that RR remained calm even when things did not go their way. For him, a captain would always find the opening game difficult.

Being captain is difficult when the Sunrisers Hyderabad squad is scoring 280 runs on a flat track. Probably the hardest game to be captain of is the first one. However, I believe it was good that he remained calm and that our squad didn’t appear to be panicked,” Dravid remarked.

While disappointed that Sanju Samson was unable to guide them, the former Indian celebrity was pleased to see Parah taking over. When the surface against KKR featured some spin, he commended Parag for deciding to start attacking.
