India A Vice-Captain
Riyan Parag arrives at M64 tonight with RR’s playoff survival on the line and two stories following him to the crease: a fine for conduct and an India A vice-captaincy that says the selectors still believe. RR’s path to the playoffs runs directly through results like tonight’s and Jaipur is their home fortress. LSG are no pushover with Rishabh Pant anchoring their batting, but Parag at home under pressure has shown this season that he rises to moments rather than shrinks from them. The cricket internet is watching to see which version shows up tonight: the chaos or the captain. Either way, RR need him firing.
