Riyan Parag to Captain Royals in Opening Three Matches of IPL 2025
Riyan Parag, the all-rounder, has been appointed as the captain of Rajasthan Royals for the first three matches of IPL 2025. This comes as their regular captain, Sanju Samson, is recovering from a finger injury and has been cleared to bat but not yet for wicketkeeping or fielding duties.
Samson underwent finger surgery last month and rejoined the RR squad on Monday after his rehabilitation at the National Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru. He is expected to participate as an Impact Sub in the IPL, while Dhruv Jurel is set to handle wicketkeeping responsibilities.

In a video shared on the official RR handle, Samson stated, “I’m not fully fit to play three or more games. Our team is filled with potential leaders. Over the last few years, several excellent individuals have nurtured this environment. For the next three games, Riyan will be at the helm. He is more than capable, and I trust everyone will support him.”

According to an RR release, Samson will resume his role as captain once he is fully fit.
This marks Riyan’s debut as a captain in the IPL, making him the fifth youngest player to take on this role. Since joining RR in 2019, he was retained by the franchise for ₹14 crores just before the mega auction last year. In IPL 2024, he scored 573 runs, the most by any RR player and the third-highest in the tournament, alongside four half-centuries, which earned him T20I and ODI caps for India.
“Rajasthan Royals’ choice to appoint Riyan as captain highlights the franchise’s trust in his leadership abilities, which he has shown while captaining Assam in domestic competitions,” a statement from the franchise noted.
His long-standing role within the Royals adds to his understanding of the team’s dynamics, positioning him well to step into this role at the tournament’s outset.
The Rajasthan Royals will kick off their IPL 2025 campaign with an away match against Sunrisers Hyderabad on March 23, marking Parag’s captaincy debut. He will then return to Guwahati for two home matches in the city—facing defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders on March 26 and Chennai Super Kings on March 30.
This milestone also makes Riyan the first Assamese player to captain an IPL team, symbolizing a significant achievement for the region. Parag has previously led Assam in the domestic circuit, winning 10 out of 17 T20 matches between 2021 and 2023, with an impressive average of 67.09 and a strike rate of 167.72.

Cristiano Ronaldo Earns Rs.30 Crore in Just 90 Minutes
Sports: Football legend Cristiano Ronaldo has once again grabbed global attention with his massive earnings. Reports suggest that Ronaldo earns around Rs.30 crore from just one 90-minute football match.
The 41-year-old Portuguese star is currently playing for a club in Saudi Arabia. Under his contract, he reportedly earns around Rs.1,700 crore per year. Based on an average of 55 matches a year for both club and country, Ronaldo earns nearly Rs.30 crore for every game he plays.
This means that in just 90 minutes on the football field, Ronaldo earns an amount that is equal to the annual salary expenses of many companies.
Ronaldo’s total net worth is estimated to be more than ₹10,000 crore. He has built this enormous wealth through a football career that has lasted more than two decades. His income also comes from endorsement deals, brand promotions, business investments, and social media activities.
The scale of Ronaldo’s earnings becomes even more striking when compared to an average Indian employee. A person earning Rs.12 lakh per year would need around 2,500 years of work to earn the Rs.30 crore that Ronaldo makes from a single match.
