Former Indian cricket team head coach Rahul Dravid is set to return to the Rajasthan Royals as head coach for the IPL 2025 season. Dravid, who previously played for and mentored the Royals, is in advanced talks with the franchise, with an official announcement expected soon. His return follows his successful tenure with the Indian cricket team, culminating in a T20 World Cup victory. Dravid's past association with the Royals includes leading them to the Champions League T20 final and the IPL playoffs. This move aligns with Dravid's desire for a less travel-intensive role, allowing him more family time. The future of current Royals Director of Cricket Kumar Sangakkara remains uncertain amidst these developments.
