    Riyan Parag Defends Jadeja Promotion Despite Rajasthan Royals’ Loss to Delhi Capitals

    By IANS News May 02, 2026 • 09:29 AM View: 567

    Riyan Parag defended Rajasthan Royals’ tactical call to promote Ravindra Jadeja up the order, explaining it was a calculated move aimed at maximising their finish against Delhi Capitals, even as the decision came under scrutiny following a seven-wicket defeat.

    “It was actually lefty-righty as well,” Parag said, outlining the thinking behind sending Jadeja ahead of Donovan Ferreira. “There was what, eight-nine overs to go. We wanted to delay it [entry point] a little bit and just get a few eight-nine [runs] an over from the spinners and then go from ball one when the seamers started to bowl. So I feel that was the plan.”
