Dravid, who has been a key figure in the Royals' journey for many years, took charge as head coach of the Royals following the T20 World Cup. He appointed Vikram Rathour as the team’s batting coach. However, the franchise struggled after a disappointing auction and finished ninth in the points table.
After retiring, Dravid served as a mentor from 2014 to 2015. He later coached India’s U-19, ‘A’, and senior men’s teams before returning to RR as head coach in September 2024 on a multi-year contract.
Rajasthan Royals Have to Appoint New Head Coach After Dravid’s Exit
The Rajasthan Royals have to find a new head coach with Dravid stepping away. It remains uncertain whether Kumar Sangakkara will resume coaching duties as he did from 2022 to 2024 while continuing as the franchise’s Director of Cricket.
Samson might reconsider his decision, or Rajasthan may start fresh in the IPL after Dravid left. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have expressed interest in signing Samson.

Maybe, the only redeeming move Rahul Dravid made at RR was bringing Vaibhav Suryavanshi to the global stage. ? @rajasthanroyals
