Former Indian cricketer Sreesanth recently lauded young Rajasthan Royals (RR) player Riyan Parag, calling him a role model for aspiring cricketers. Amid discussions about his potential as a future captain, Sreesanth emphasized that leadership is not determined by background but by talent and dedication.
Parag, who has been a promising performer for RR in the Indian Premier League (IPL), has caught the attention of many cricketing experts. While there have been speculations about him taking up a leadership role in the franchise, Sreesanth highlighted that what truly matters is his growth as a player and his contributions to the team.
“He is a fantastic example for youngsters. It doesn’t matter where you come from, but how you perform on the field and keep improving,” Sreesanth said in an interview.
Parag, hailing from Assam, has steadily risen through the ranks, showcasing his skills with both bat and ball. His performances have led to debates about his potential as a future leader for RR. While the franchise has experienced captains like Sanju Samson, Parag’s steady development has fueled discussions about grooming him for bigger responsibilities.
Sreesanth further added that young players like Parag should focus on consistency and discipline, which are key elements in shaping a strong career.
As RR gears up for the upcoming IPL season, all eyes will be on Parag to see if he can translate his talent into match-winning performances and prove himself as a leader on the field.
