Rajasthan Royals, an Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise, has announced the end of their association with head coach and former captain Rahul Dravid. Dravid, who has been with the team for several years, played a central role in shaping the team’s journey. His leadership has had a significant impact on the players, instilling strong values and contributing to the culture of the franchise.
In a statement released on social media, the Rajasthan Royals revealed that Dravid had been offered a broader position within the franchise but chose not to accept it. The team, along with its players and fans, expressed their gratitude for Dravid’s remarkable service.
Dravid was appointed as the head coach of the Rajasthan Royals in September 2024 on a multi-year contract. Under his guidance, the team participated in the IPL 2025 season but finished ninth out of ten teams, winning only four out of their 14 matches.
The franchise is now in the process of conducting a structural review, and Dravid’s departure marks the end of an era for the Rajasthan Royals. Fans and supporters of the team will surely miss his presence and leadership.
The announcement was made on August 30, 2025, and more updates are expected to follow regarding the future plans for the Rajasthan Royals without Dravid at the helm.
