There is good news for Team India and Rajasthan Royals (RR) fans as their captain Riyan Parag is in the rehabilitation phase after successful shoulder surgery. The RR skipper shared a picture of himself along with a heartfelt note to give some update on his shoulder injury.
Parag had to struggle with a shoulder problem during the IPL 2026 season. He had to undergo surgery, which was done successfully, as reported by the batsman on the afternoon of June 11.
Ryan Parag provides updates from the hospital.
“For everyone asking, surgery done and going well,” Riyan Parag wrote in his Instagram post. He further mentioned that the last few years have put him through tough tests both physically and mentally.
He said, “The last two years have tested me in ways I never expected. There were good days, disappointing days, and days when the game was a challenge to deal with. But I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
However, Parag has refused to give up and is ready to face the new challenges that lie ahead. He further wrote, “Now comes a different challenge – recovery, rehabilitation and patience. I will soon be back doing what I love. See you on the other side.”
Indian Premier League franchise Punjab Kings (PBKS) wishes the Rajasthan Royals captain a speedy recovery. “Wishing you a speedy recovery, Ryan!” Punjab Kings commented on Riyan Parag’s post on Instagram.
RR captain performed tremendously with the bat in the IPL 2026 season
Riyan Parag’s IPL 2026 season was mostly cold. This was his first Indian Premier League season as the full-time captain of Rajasthan Royals. Following the departure of Sanju Samson ahead of the 2025 season, the franchise appointed homegrown talent Parag as its captain. He took the team to the playoffs but missed the finals. In Qualifier 2, they lost to Gujarat Titans and were eliminated from the title race.
In the season, the 24-year-old scored 309 runs at an average of 23.76 in 14 matches and as many innings. In so many innings, Riyan Parag scored only a few half-centuries. He made headlines for the wrong reasons midway through the season. During a live match, he was caught vaping inside the dressing room, causing widespread controversy on social media platforms.
Parag’s manager has shared a story on Instagram
In an Instagram story, Riyan Parag’s manager Aastha shared another message for cricket fans. She urges cricket fans not to share anything negative about cricket as Parag is going through a tough phase in his career at the moment.
The Instagram story reads, “If you are unable to send blessings and well wishes, that is your choice. But at this time, please avoid spreading negativity and toxicity. Kindness costs nothing, and sometimes silence speaks louder than hatred. Wishing you strength, healing and a speedy recovery.”
