Former Indian coach Rahul Dravid concluded his tenure with the team on a high note, having led them to victory in the T20 World Cup. With his illustrious stint now behind him, there is considerable anticipation regarding his future endeavors. As the IPL 2025 mega auction approaches, several franchises are keenly eyeing Dravid as a potential head coach for their teams, eager to benefit from his expertise and experience in guiding their squads to success.
Many Franchises Willing to Approach Rahul Dravid:
With the IPL 2025 mega auction on the horizon, numerous franchises are keenly interested in securing Rahul Dravid as their coach. His successful stint with Team India, culminating in a T20 World Cup victory, has heightened his appeal among IPL teams. The Kolkata Knight Riders, who recently welcomed Gautam Gambhir as their head coach, are rumored to be considering Dravid for their own coaching role.
Additionally, Dravid’s former team, the Rajasthan Royals, might also reach out to him as they seek to bolster their coaching staff. The Royals are known for valuing experienced leadership, and Dravid’s past association with the franchise could make him a strong candidate for their head coach position.Â
Furthermore, the Mumbai Indians, one of the IPL’s most successful franchises, could enter the race for Dravid’s services, particularly after a disappointing 2024 season. Despite no official announcements from any franchise yet, Dravid’s recent achievements suggest he is poised for a lucrative coaching role as the new season approaches.
Rahul Dravid’s Glorious Coaching Era:
Rahul Dravid embarked on his coaching career in 2021 and concluded it in 2024 with a prestigious ICC trophy under his belt. Throughout his tenure, India consistently excelled in both home and away bilateral series, demonstrating dominance across formats. Dravid guided the team to three consecutive ICC finals: the World Test Championship, the 2023 ODI World Cup, and the 2024 T20 World Cup.Â
While setbacks were encountered in the WTC and ODI World Cup, India triumphed in the T20 World Cup, making history as the first team to secure the title unbeaten. Dravid’s coaching period was highlighted by ending India’s eleven-year ICC trophy drought, as they clinched their second T20 World Cup title in the Caribbean. His contract concluded following a decisive victory over South Africa in the final held in Barbados, marking a fitting end to a successful coaching stint.
