IPL 2025: Rahul Dravid To Replace Sangakara As Rajasthan Royals Head Coach| Report. In a major shake-up in the coaching landscape of the Indian Premier League (IPL), the Rajasthan Royals (RR) head-coach position for the 2025 season is reported to be taken over by Rahul Dravid. This is happening because the present coach Kumar Sangakkara is being considered to take up England’s white-ball head coach job-, after Matthew Mott left.
Dravid’s return to Rajasthan Royals is reconciliation for he has played and coached there before. Sources say that Dravid is set to be appointed as Sangakkara’s replacement once he accepts the ECB offer. Sangakkara has been with RR since 2021, and while he expressed an interest in the role in England, he has also claimed that no formal approach has been made so far.

This coaching change may greatly impact both franchise names. His extensive experience and strategic brilliance over time spent as head coach for the Indian men’s team recently ended will make Dravid take RR much higher than they are now. On the contrary in England Sangakkara’s moving might become critical as it strives to rebuild the team’s former supremacy in white-ball games.
Both roles are set to be officially confirmed soon.
