Rahul Dravid is emerging as the top candidate to replace Kumar Sangakkara as the head coach of Rajasthan Royals for IPL 2025. This potential change comes as Sangakkara considers a coaching role with the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB).
Dravid has a strong connection with Rajasthan Royals. He played for the team and later served as a coach. His experience makes him a great fit to lead the Royals into the new season.
Sangakkara has expressed satisfaction with his current position. While he knows about the speculation, no formal offers have reached him yet. He values his time with the Royals and enjoys coaching. However, the chance to coach a national team could influence his decision.
Bringing in Dravid could be a smart move for Rajasthan Royals. He recently led the Indian national team to victory in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. His leadership and cricket knowledge could provide the Royals with a fresh outlook.
As IPL 2025 approaches, fans are eager to see how this coaching change will affect the team. Dravid’s return could mark a new era for the franchise and boost their competitiveness in the league.
The IPL landscape keeps evolving. The Royals’ decision to hire Dravid might inspire other franchises to rethink their coaching strategies. The coming weeks will be crucial for both Dravid and Sangakkara as they consider their futures in cricket.
