Former India captain Krishnamachari Srikkanth launches scathing attack Ryanparag,criticize rajasthan royals The captain’s performance with the bat in the ongoing IPL season has been disappointing. Even as Rajasthan Royals retained their top-four spot with four wins from six games, concerns over Parag’s form continued to grow. The right-hander has struggled to make meaningful contributions, especially in crucial situations, and has failed to guide the team through difficult stretches. With the Royals losing two games in a row, their over-reliance on top players – Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal – and number three Dhruv Jurel has become increasingly apparent, exposing a fragile middle order. Srikanth did not hold back his assessment, openly mocking Parag for his repeated failures and questioning his overall impact this season. Among the scathing remarks, he even brought Ajinkya Lahani In conversation, this suggests that both batsmen are vying for the title of worst performer. “Palag, as usual, is only good for stylish walks without the bat and ball. There is a competition between him and Rahane to see who is the worst batsman. Parag does well for one season and that’s it,” Srikanth said on his YouTube channel. In comparison, Rahane scored 152 runs in seven games at a strike rate of 144.76, while Parag’s struggles were reflected in his score of just 61 runs at a strike rate of 122. At the other end of the table, Kolkata Knight Riders are at the bottom with just one win in seven matches, while Rajasthan Royals are third. at the same time, mumbai indians A crushing victory over Gujarat Titans with 99 runs reignited their campaign. This big win could be a turning point for the five-time champion who has been finding his rhythm. Srikanth backed Mumbai to surge late on, underscoring their history of excelling in high-pressure games. At the same time, he bluntly denied opportunities to Kolkata Knight Riders and Lucknow Supergiants, claiming that both sides were effectively out of the playoffs. “MI has the ability to perform well in big matches, which can catapult them into the playoffs. After this match, no one can write off MI. Of course, KKR and LSG have been eliminated. They will only fight for 9th and 10th place,” he added. Srikanth turned his attention to the clash between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Delhi Capitals, picking SRH as the clear favorites. He also pointed out a major issue with Delhi’s batting set-up, questioning the use of Karun Nair at number three. “SRH will be the favorites. DC have the third question. They are there against Karun Nair. He is a Test player who plays in T20s,” Srikkanth said.
