Rajasthan Royals (RR) captain Riyan Parag has explained the rationale behind promoting Ravindra Jadeja over Donovan Ferreira in their recent 2026 Indian Premier League match against Delhi Capitals.

The decision, he said, was two-fold: to create a left-right combination and to set the stage for finishers to capitalize on the pacers during death overs. "It was actually lefty-righty as well," Parag said about the decision. Notably, Parag himself scored a fine 90 off just 50 balls.
