Few have faced criticism like Parag has for 7 years: Sangakkara

RR head coach Kumar Sangakkara said he has seen very few players who have faced criticism like skipper Riyan Parag over the past seven years. "When we decided to offer Riyan the captaincy...I had no doubt in my mind...I think he's captained exceptionally well," he added. Riyan Parag-led RR defeated MI to secure a place in the IPL 2026 playoffs.
