“I am not going to be the captain of Rajasthan Royals forever. There has to be someone who is going to come and someone we’ll have to groom after I leave or after changes are made in captaincy. The franchisee has developed a lot of leaders. But for the next three games, we decided that Riyan Parag is ready and capable to lead the side,” he added.

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) is going to face Rajasthan Royals (RR) on March 23. The match is to be held in Rajiv Gandhi international Stadium in Hyderabad, and will begin 3:30 PM IST.
