Parakh, 19, who has represented Maharashtra at all levels from U19 to senior level and even struck a century in just 75 balls in U19 India colours against Australia back in September 2024, will be playing for the Blue and Red franchise in his first IPL season. His most recent outings saw him register scores of 6 and 18 during his first two Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) T20 matches for Maharashtra at the senior level, and the exposure and some possible game time with the Capitals could definitely help the youngster up his game.
