Rajasthan Royals confirmed that their head coach Rahul Dravid will rejoin their pre-season training camp on Wednesday, March 12. The former champions are training in full-tilt ahead of the IPL 2025 season. Rajasthan took to social media to reveal Dravid suffered a leg injury while playing cricket in Bengaluru and he was not with the team that was training in the lead-up to the new season, starting March 22.
Dravid was seen with a cast on his left leg while posing for a photo in Rajasthan Royals shirt.
“Head Coach Rahul Dravid, who picked up an injury while playing Cricket in Bangalore, is recovering well and will join us today in Jaipur,” the franchise said in a post.
Rahul Dravid was appointed as the head coach of Rajasthan Royals before IPL 2025 mega auction last year. The former India captain, who worked as Team India head coach from 2022 to 2024, signed off from the role after overseeing India’s T20 World Cup triumph.
Dravid will work closely with captain Sanju Samson and Director of Cricket Kumar Sangakkara in the 2025 season.
