Against MI, Rajasthan used impact and matchday bowling\/ batting adjustments involving Dasun Shanaka, Donovan Ferreira and later Ravindra Jadeja, guided by Sangakkara\u2019s injury management plan.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nSangakkara defends Parag as captain amid scrutiny<\/h2>\n
Sangakkara said Parag has faced sustained criticism for years, noting that even after joining the franchise there were always mixed opinions about him, particularly on social media. He framed the scrutiny as part of modern cricket\u2019s reality, insisting that when the Royals decided to hand Parag the captaincy, they did so with conviction.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think I\u2019ve seen very few players who have been criticised like Riyan has for about seven years now,\u201d Sangakkara said in Mumbai. \u201cSince I came into the franchise, there have been supporters of Riyan, but there have also been a lot of people who didn\u2019t really like him, especially on social media. That\u2019s simply the modern game.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added that the captaincy decision was not a gamble and expressed confidence that Parag will keep improving. Sangakkara said that, from what he has seen, Parag will mature as a leader, grow in self-awareness, and learn how to get the best out of his players.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen we decided to offer Riyan the captaincy, he is the absolute right guy to lead this franchise. I have no doubt in my mind. And having watched him, yes, he will grow. He will mature. He will understand himself a lot more. He will learn to understand his players a lot more,\u201d Sangakkara said.<\/p>\n
Runs are down, but leadership is drawing praise<\/h2>\n
Parag\u2019s batting output has been under pressure in IPL 2026. He has scored only two fifties since succeeding Sanju Samson as Rajasthan\u2019s captain, and he linked his current run of low scores to a \u201ctough phase\u201d he was dealing with personally. The situation also took a disciplinary turn earlier in the season, when he was penalised after being caught vaping during RR\u2019s match against Punjab Kings in New Chandigarh.<\/p>\n
In the lead-up to Sunday\u2019s clash, Parag missed RR\u2019s previous game due to a hamstring injury. Despite that setback, he returned for the must-win encounter, even though he was \u201cnot supposed to play\u201d. He contributed an eight-ball 14 in RR\u2019s innings, helping the team reach 205 for 8. Rajasthan then held their nerve to beat Mumbai Indians by 30 runs and secure their playoff qualification.<\/p>\n
Sangakkara highlighted the captain\u2019s mindset and commitment, pointing to the way Parag makes decisions and carries himself even when his body is not at 100%. He said Parag\u2019s positivity is visible on the field and that the dressing room respects him.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you look at the calls he makes as captain, the confidence with which he drives himself, almost on one foot sometimes to come and play, there\u2019s a huge amount of positivity,\u201d Sangakkara said of Parag\u2019s leadership in IPL 2026. \u201cI think he\u2019s captained exceptionally well. And when he\u2019s in that dressing room, he\u2019s got the respect of all the players and the staff. That\u2019s all you can ask for.\u201d<\/p>\n
The head coach also suggested that the next stage is about building an even stronger working relationship between the franchise and their young captain, while continuing to develop him as a batter and as a person. Sangakkara described Parag as soft-spoken and determined, adding that what people see from the outside is not always the full picture.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat happens in the next few years, I think it\u2019s a really interesting relationship we have to build with the franchise and Riyan, and really help him develop as a captain, as a batter, as a person, and keep supporting him. He\u2019s a very, very good young man. Sometimes what you see on the outside is not Riyan Parag. He is a lovely, soft, gentle, really determined, smart young man. And he\u2019s learned a lot in the last few years. And he\u2019ll continue on that journey. I\u2019m very, very proud of him,\u201d Sangakkara added.<\/p>\n
Impact Player planning shaped RR\u2019s bowling options<\/h2>\n
In one key earlier match against Delhi Capitals, Rajasthan found themselves in a precarious position after losing their sixth wicket with only 19 balls remaining in the innings. To address the situation, they brought in batting-allrounder Dasun Shanaka as the Impact Player, even though Jofra Archer had not yet batted. With no fifth frontline bowling option available due to the batting situation, Rajasthan needed Shanaka and Donovan Ferreira to cover that role.<\/p>\n
Sunday\u2019s game against Mumbai Indians followed a different pattern. Rajasthan lost their fifth wicket with 43 balls left in the innings, but they still sent Archer in at No. 7, despite having Shubham Dubey available later in the order. Once Dubey fell in the 18th over, RR replaced him with Ravindra Jadeja as the Impact Player, while Archer finished with a 15-ball 32\u2014his highest score in IPL history.<\/p>\n
Why Shanaka and Jadeja were used\u2014plus injury management<\/h2>\n
Sangakkara explained the tactical reasoning behind not pushing for another batter at the stage RR needed to control their bowling resources. He said that forcing an extra batter would have meant using four overs from Dasun Shanaka, which he felt was too risky on that kind of pitch.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday, if we had pushed another batter, we would have had to bowl four of Dasun Shanaka,\u201d Sangakkara said. \u201cAnd that\u2019s a tough one on a wicket like this. So we would like to push as much as possible, extend our resources, see where we get to, and if we\u2019re only left with no choice. That\u2019s why we played Dasun in the first place as well. He batted exceptionally well today, and bowled well too.\u201d<\/p>\n
He also described how the Impact Player rule gives teams flexibility, but can create confusion when too many options are available. Sangakkara said their planning is based on whether they want to carry five or six bowlers, and that fielding first generally makes five bowlers more than sufficient, with a sixth option available if the batting goes well.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are pretty well-versed in how we want to use [the impact sub]. It just depends whether you want to play five or six bowlers. And usually if you\u2019re fielding first, I think five bowlers are more than enough. And then if you bat well, you\u2019ll have a sixth. Sometimes when you have too many options also, it gets a little confusing. But I thought we had used that option really well this season,\u201d Sangakkara said.<\/p>\n
The coach further revealed that RR delayed the decision to bring Jadeja in as an Impact Player because of injury management. Sangakkara said Jadeja had been nursing an injury and that the team had to handle his workload carefully. He added that long batting spells increase pressure and stress for a player who is still recovering, so the timing of Jadeja\u2019s involvement depended on his rest period.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s been nursing an injury,\u201d Sangakkara said. \u201cAnd we\u2019ve had to manage him quite sensitively. So for him to go out and bat for long periods of time, it puts a lot of pressure on him, a lot of stress on him. So until he gets maybe another two days of rest, then we can use him even better. The way he batted today was pretty exceptional.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
