Before Bahutule, former India batting coach Vikram Rathour had also joined RR as their batting coach for IPL 2025 and beyond. Bahutule will be working with the team's bowling coach Shane Bond, who has been with the franchise for some time.
Sairaj Bahutule was recently working at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru. He has also worked previously for Royals from 2018 to 2021 ahead of joining NCA, which has been converted to Centre of Excellence now.
"The discussions are ongoing, and I'm close to finalizing my involvement with the franchise. There are still a few details to be worked out, but I'm excited to be realigning with the Royals," Bahutule said.
Sairaj Bahutule's stint with Indian team
Sairaj Bahutule has also briefly served as India's bowling coach after the T20 World Cup 2024 when the team was without a bowling coach before Morne Morkel's appointment into the role.
Sairaj Bahutule will be working with Rajasthan Royals bowlers throughout the year. RR has a strong bowling line-up consisting of the likes of Jofra Archer, Sandeep Sharma, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Akash Madhwal, and Tushar Deshpande. The team's spin bowling contingent consists of Wanindu Hasaranga, Maheesh Theekshana, and Kumar Kartikeya.
Rajasthan Royals' recent performances
They finished third in the points table in the IPL 2024 season where they were knocked out after losing to Sunrisers Hyderabad in Qualifier 2. RR reached the final in IPL 2022 but lost to Gujarat Titans in the summit clash.
The team will be led by Sanju Samson, who was retained by the franchise before the IPL 2025 mega auctions. The franchise roped in Rahul Dravid as their head coach as he left the role of India's coach after the T20 World Cup 2024.
