Former India fast bowler S Sreesanth recently opened up about his experiences at various team parties. Speaking ahead of the upcoming IPL 2026 edition, he recalled younger squad members sometimes forcing senior players like Rahul Dravid to stay awake late into the night celebrating after victories.
The Indian Premier League season will commence on March 28 in Bengaluru. Defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are scheduled to face Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the opening fixture. As excitement builds for the tournament, former cricketers are sharing fascinating stories.
S Sreesanth revealed that during his playing days, most squad members stayed up late partying. He noted that senior figures usually preferred sleeping early. However, exceptional achievements often prompted the entire team to come together.
"It was the opposite in our times. Two or three would sleep and the rest would party. Sachin paaji would sleep soon, Rahul Dravid also sometimes. Ganguly would always be in the room. We would sometimes force Rahul Dravid. Like if it was a big series, like we beat Pakistan in Pakistan under his captaincy, it was my first away series. That day, we all enjoyed together," Sreesanth said on 'Cheeky Singles'.
Rahul Dravid Bhai Dances Really Well - S Sreesanth
Sreesanth made a surprising revelation about Rahul Dravid. He disclosed that Dravid possesses impressive dancing skills, a talent unknown to the general cricket public, who mainly remember his calm, focused, and disciplined on-field batting demeanor.
"Rahul bhai dances really well. Of course I am there, there is no one like me."
The two cricketers shared dressing rooms across multiple environments throughout their professional careers. Apart from India, they also played together in domestic franchise cricket.
Both players represented the Rajasthan Royals during the 2012 and 2013 tournament seasons before their respective professional cricket careers concluded.
I Was Not Invited to the Party, But I Had Gone for... - S Sreesanth
S Sreesanth also shared a humorous incident where he deliberately gate-crashed a celebration. Following the inaugural 2008 final between the Rajasthan Royals and the Chennai Super Kings, he attended the post-match party despite lacking an official invitation from the tournament organizers.
"There was a party after the final between Rajasthan and Chennai in 2008. I was not invited to the party, but I had gone for the Purple Cap or something. Shane Warne and other legends were partying, so I also went. I had gone because I thought that if Tanvir did not pick wickets, then I would have gotten the Purple Cap," Sreesanth opined.
Sreesanth narrowly missed securing the prestigious bowling award in 2008. Pakistan fast bowler Sohail Tanvir finished as the highest wicket-taker with 22 scalps, while Sreesanth concluded his campaign with 19 wickets.
The Rajasthan Royals emerged victorious during the inaugural season under the tactical guidance of Shane Warne. Sreesanth cherished the opportunity to mingle with such iconic figures.
