India’s former star head coach Rahul Dravid is set to take over Rajasthan Royal’s head coach role in the IPL 2025.
Dravid is currently on a short break since India’s T20 victory at Barbados in June, and will soon start working with the franchise on important issues such as player retention ahead of the auction later this year.
“The talks have reached the final stages and he will soon step into the head coach job,” according to a source.
Dravid has a long-standing association with the Royals as their captain for two seasons in 2012 and 2013 before serving as a mentor for two more years.
He then moved to Delhi Capitals in a similar role in 2016 and continued with the team till he assumed the role of the head of the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru.
In 2021, he moved on from NCA to take up India’s head coach role from Ravi Shastri.
Now at Royals, Dravid will reunite with Sanju Samson, who is all set to be retained as RR captain for another season. Samson blossomed first under the 52-year-old.
