Sehwag slams Riyan Parag’s leadership, Zaheer questions decision making after RR’s derailed campaign

Published by Webster

3 min readUpdated: Apr 26, 2026 04:56 PM IST Former Indian players Zaheer Khan and Virender Sehwag questioned Riyan Parag’s captaincy after Rajasthan Royals lost to Sunrisers Hyderabad. The defeat was Rajasthan’s third loss in their last four matches and came in their first game at their home ground, the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. After beginning the IPL 2026 season with four straight wins, Rajasthan Royals’ campaign has seemingly derailed following three losses in the next four games. On Saturday, teenage sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s 36-ball ton went in vain as Hyderabad handed RR a five-wicket defeat. Despite posting a strong total of 228 after batting first, RR let the game slip away as SRH chased down the target with 1.3 overs to spare. Parag introduced his frontline spinners Ravi Bishnoi and Ravindra Jadeja only after the 10th over and replaced them with pacers after giving them just one over each. Criticising the move, veteran pacer Zaheer Khan said, “You cannot discard a player after just one over, because the only way you could be …

Modern cricket is often judged by numbers and statistics, but it is the players’ tangible emotions that truly define the essence of the game. A player can be one of the greats or just starting out in their career; expressing emotions on the field is what makes them human and helps them take the next step. Winning and losing are often considered part and parcel of the game, but certain moments caught on the field and shared with the fans help them connect on a deeper level. A similar moment was captured yesterday, April 19, at the Iconic Eden Gardens following the clash between Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is quickly ascending in the Orange Cap tally (REUTERS) The video captured an emotional 15-year-old RR rising star, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, disheartened and possibly in tears after his side fell short against hosts KKR. What came next is what cricket is truly about, not just two teams competing on the pitch, but also maintaining the highest respect for opponents in both victory and defeat. …

3 min readUpdated: Apr 11, 2026 08:01 AM IST The entire world is currently speaking about Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and how, as a 15-year-old, he is taking on some of the best fast bowlers in the world without fear and succeeding in getting Rajasthan Royals (RR) off to blazing starts in the powerplay in IPL 2026. On Friday, it was the turn of the likes of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood to bear the brunt as Sooryavanshi went after the experienced RCB duo en route to making 78 runs in 26 balls. The former praised the left-hander for his batting exploits, but admitted that there were no hard feelings about getting hit by a teenager. “It’s a T20 game. Yes, he is young, but he is batting very well and very maturely. We never feel that somebody is trashing us. If a 15-year-old can bat like this, whether he is a 25-year-old or 15-year-old, it’s part of T20 cricket.” ALSO READ | IPL: How Vaibhav Sooryavanshi turned another chase into child’s play as RR hunt down RCB’s …

3 min readUpdated: Apr 11, 2026 08:01 AM IST Vaibhav Sooryavanshi again stole the limelight as his belligerent 78 off 26 balls laid the foundation for the Rajasthan Royals’ chase down the 202-run target set by Royal Challengers Bengaluru by six wickets in Guwahati and maintained their unbeaten start to IPL 2026. At the other end, Dhruv Jurel had the best seat in the house watching the 15-year-old smash the ball to different corners of the stadium. But the southpaw fell in the ninth over, the onus fell on Jurel to take RR home, and he did so by staying unbeaten on 81 runs in 43 balls to take his side home. The 25-year-old spoke about batting along with Sooryavanshi, admitting that the game was not as easy as the teenage batting sensation was making it look. “When I bat at number three, he makes my batting look easy. When you go in, and Vaibhav is smashing every ball, you tend to think nothing is happening on the wicket. Cricket is not as easy as …

The 15-year-old from Bihar smashed his way to a 15-ball half century and then carried on to score a 26-ball 78 to lead the Rajasthan Royals’ chase of 202 runs at the ACA Stadium in Guwahati. Rajasthan Royals eventually chased the target of 202 with two overs and six wickets left, with Dhruv Jurel scoring an unbeaten 81 off 43 balls while Ravindra Jadeja scored an unbeaten 24. Such was Sooryavanshi’s impact on Friday that by the time he was dismissed, Rajasthan needed just 73 runs for victory off 71 balls. After the youngster departed, Royals lost a couple of wickets, but Dhruv Jurel guided their chase with a measured half century. Thanks to Sooryavanshi’s heroics with the bat, Rajasthan Royals managed to score 97/1 at the end of powerplay, which was not just Rajasthan’s highest powerplay score ever in their IPL history but also the highest powerplay score for any team …

3 min readUpdated: Apr 5, 2026 06:01 PM IST Former South Africa pacer Dale Steyn had high praise for Rajasthan Royals bowler Tushar Deshpande who defended 11 runs in the last over in Gujarat Titans’ chase on Saturday, saying that the Indian selectors will have a close eye on the pacer in the IPL. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW VIDEO “The final over bowled by Tushar Deshpande was exceptional. He executed his yorkers perfectly under pressure, did not give any chances to a player like Rashid Khan to find the boundary and he ensured his team did not suffer any hiccups in the final over of a 200-plus run chase. It is very difficult for a bowler to stay calm in such a high-pressure situation because a lot of things go through your mind. But, to ensure your plans are executed perfectly without feeling the pressure is a rare skill,” Steyn said on Star Sports. “Tushar bowled four inch-perfect yorkers, then he changed his line and delivered the length ball and by doing that, he baited Rashid …

Ayush Mhatre To Lead India U-19 In England; RR’s 14-Year-Old Sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi Included

Published by Webster

Mumbai’s Ayush Mhatre was on Thursday appointed captain of the India U-19 team for next month’s tour of England, while 14-year-old batting sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi is also included in the squad. The tour, scheduled to begin on June 24, will include a 50-over warm-up match, followed by a five-match Youth One-Day series and two Multi-Day matches against England U19. Suryavanshi’s selection comes on the back of a breakthrough IPL season with Rajasthan Royals. The baby-faced big-hitter from Bihar’s Samastipur had become the toast of the nation after becoming the youngest to smash an IPL hundred and his 35-ball century last month against Gujarat Titans was also the second fastest of the league. He has played five first-class matches and six List A games for Bihar but is yet to score a hundred in any of those matches. However, Suryavanshi had made a hundred against the Australia U19 in the first Youth Test at Chennai last year. Seventeen-year-old Mhatre, on the other hand, has played nine first-class matches and seven List A games, scoring …

Riyan Parag in action during IPL 2025© BCCI Rajasthan Royals (RR) Captain Riyan Parag expressed his disappointment on his side’s defeat against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Sunday in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL). Parag said he felt sad about himself as he could have finished the match for his side. “I was just too sad about myself getting out. Probably a miscalculation from my side, I should have finished it. I think we could have found better options in the last six overs. I think they were 120 or 130, and our spinners did really well, and maybe we could have cut down their runs, but the game was in our hands,” Riyan Parag said in the post-match presentation. Parag admitted a miscalculation while giving overs to his bowlers. He also regreted not finishing the game, believing better options existed in the final overs. “We should have finished this.
