NEW DELHI: Rahul Dravid, the architect of India’s T20 World Cup 2024 victory, is poised to imagine the place of head coach for Rajasthan Royals within the IPL 2025. Following a quick hiatus after India’s triumph in Barbados in June, Dravid will quickly collaborate with the franchise on essential issues, together with participant retention, in preparation for the upcoming public sale later this yr.
“The talks have reached the ultimate levels and he’ll quickly step into the top coach job,” a supply near the event informed PTI.
Kumar Sangakkara, who has served as Royals’ Director of Cricket since 2021, will preserve his function and is predicted to have a extra hands-on strategy with Barbados Royals (CPL) and Paarl Royals (SA20).
Dravid shares a long-standing reference to Royals, having captained the group for 2 seasons in 2012 and 2013 earlier than transitioning to a mentor function for a further two years.
Subsequently, Dravid joined Delhi Capitals in the same capability in 2016 and remained with the group till he took on the accountability of heading the Nationwide Cricket Academy in Bengaluru.
In 2021, he transitioned from NCA to succeed Ravi Shastri as India’s head coach.
Upon his return to Royals, Dravid will reunite with Sanju Samson, who is ready to be retained as RR captain for an additional season. Samson initially flourished below the steerage of the 52-year-old.
In associated information, ESPNCricinfo reported that Vikram Rathour, who served as India’s batting coach throughout Dravid’s tenure, is perhaps recruited by the franchise as its assistant coach.
