Former India coach has signed a multi-year agreement with the company
After leading India to the T20 World Cup title in June of this year, Rahul Dravid has been appointed as the Rajasthan Royals ' new head coach for a multi-year expression. He referred to this as the "ideal day" to "take on another obstacle."
" I am pleased to get returning to the company I have called' house' for a number of years in the past", Dravid said in a speech, having captained RR in IPL 2012 and 2013, and been their team leader in 2014 and 2015. " After the World Cup, I feel it's the perfect time for me to take on another issue, and the Royals is the best place to do that … It's an interesting opportunity for us to get this team to the next level given the kind of skills and tools we have at our disposal and I'm looking forward to getting started".
ESPNcricinfo had reported two days ago that Dravid and RR had signed a bargain and even had first discussions on player retentions ahead of the forthcoming big auction. He has a long-standing working partnership with the RR captain Sanju Samson, who came through the under-19 divisions on Dravid's view.
Dravid's interview marks his return to the Cricket for the first time since 2019, when he became the head of the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru. In 2021, he was appointed head coach of the India people's team and ended his three-year stay with their first ICC subject in 11 years.
Dravid will" start with the team soon, working with Royals ' director of cricket Kumar Sangakkara to adopt the show's overall football plan," according to RR in a speech.
Ford have not won the IPL name since the inaugural year in 2008, their second best end was in 2022 when they came runners-up to Gujarat Titans. They failed to make the quarterfinals in 2023, finishing second in the group despite a great start to the time, but did so in 2024 and were knocked out in Qualifier 2.
" We are delighted to be bringing Rahul back to the franchise", RR CEO Jake Lush McCrum said. His extraordinary mentoring abilities are demonstrated by the change that Indian cricket has undergone. He even has a strong connection to the company, and we've seen that love come through in all our meetings. As we gear up for this exciting new era for the franchise, which will begin with the IPL retention and the upcoming auction, Rahul has already started working with Kumar ( Sangakkara ) and the rest of the team.
