Rajasthan Royals' former head coach, Rahul Dravid, had signed a multi-year contract with the side, but it ended in a short stint, as the former India coach parted ways with the franchise. The franchise claimed that Dravid was provided a broader position, but he had chosen not to take it.
The Rajasthan Royals Director of Cricket, Kumar Sangakkara, is all set to return in a lead role in the Royals coaching staff following the exit of Rahul Dravid as the head coach of the IPL franchise. As per the latest reports from ESPNcricinfo, the RR Director of cricket is firming up for the position with the franchise.
He would be taking up the role again after Rahul Dravid, who was hired as the head coach by the franchise immediately after he won the 2024 ICC T20 World Cup, made his exit following the 2025 IPL season.
Sangakkara's biggest priority will be sorting out RR's captaincy
Samson has been the most experienced player in the RR camp, and his success was limitless under Kumar Sangakkara. While RR did cast the net with several franchises offering Samson as a trade-in player swap, they have not been successful.
