Rahul Dravid stepped down as head coach of Rajasthan Royals on Saturday. In a post on X, the team said Dravid declined a broader management role offered during the franchise’s structural review. He was appointed head coach of the Royals ahead of the IPL 2025 season.

The team praised Dravid’s contribution, noting his leadership shaped a generation of players and left a lasting impact on the squad’s culture.

The development comes amid speculation that skipper Sanju Samson may also leave the franchise, potentially unsettling the team months before the mini-auction. The Royals expressed gratitude to Dravid and thanked him for his service to the franchise and its global fan base.
