With Rahul Dravid’s tenure as India’s head coach coming to an end, the cricket world is buzzing with speculation about his next move. The veteran cricketer, renowned for nurturing young talent, might soon be seen coaching in the Indian Premier League (IPL) again. Let’s explore three teams that could potentially welcome Dravid as their head coach in IPL 2025.
Rajasthan Royals
Reports suggest that Rahul Dravid could return to his former IPL team, Rajasthan Royals (RR). Dravid’s history with RR is rich, having served as their captain and later as a coach in 2014 and 2015. Under his mentorship, the team discovered talents like Sanju Samson and Ajinkya Rahane. A reunion could see Dravid and Samson building a formidable squad with a mix of new and young players.
Kolkata Knight Riders
In what could be an intriguing role swap, Rahul Dravid might join Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) as head coach, following Gautam Gambhir’s move to the Indian national team. Both coaches have left champion teams, making Dravid a strong candidate to fill the void left by Gambhir at KKR.
Delhi Capitals
Delhi Capitals are on the lookout for a coach who can inspire and elevate the team’s performance. Rahul Dravid, known for his exceptional mentorship skills, could be a perfect fit. With Ricky Ponting’s departure, Dravid’s experience in developing young players could be invaluable to the team. Parthiv Patel, who thrived under Dravid’s guidance, could benefit from his inclusion if he is retained this season.
