Many shocking changes are happening continuously before the next season of the Indian Premier League. The biggest and latest changes in this have been seen in Rajasthan Royals. Rahul Dravid, head coach of the first IPL champion Rajasthan Royals, has resigned from his post. Rajasthan and Dravid took this decision with mutual consent. The franchise surprised everyone on Saturday 30 August with this announcement. This has also raised the question whether Dravid will continue coaching even further or not? Talking about IPL, there is a franchise where Dravid can play this role.
Separated from Rajasthan Royals
Rahul Dravid became the head coach of Rajasthan Royals only last year. After winning the title of T20 World Cup 2024 to Team India, Dravid took this responsibility in Rajasthan. But only after one season, he resigned from his post. In the statement issued by Rajasthan Royals, it has been told that the franchise was going to give them a big and detailed role, but the former Indian coach refused and decided to separate from the team.
Will Dravid’s entry in this team?
Now Dravid is not a part of any team at the moment, but will the same situation happen before the new season starts? As an Indian coach Dravid has been strong and despite not having a very good record in the IPL, he has the experience of coaching of Delhi and Rajasthan. In such a situation, if a team needs in the IPL, then it can sign Dravid and there is a team in which Dravid’s entry can be done. This team is former champion Kolkata Knight Riders.
Kolkata, who won the IPL title in 2024, decided to remove its head coach Chandrakant Pandit after a 2025 season failure. Since then, the franchise has not appointed a new coach. In such a situation, if Shah Rukh Khan’s team makes Dravid his coach, then it should not be surprising. Apart from KKR and Rajasthan, the post of head coach in any franchise is not empty. In such a situation, the next few weeks can prove to be important in this sense.
