Former India batter Rahul Dravid bowed out from his coaching duties after Rohit Sharma and co successfully clinched the T20 World Cup 2024 title in June, this year.

Dravid, who failed to win any ICC trophy in his tenure as a player, finally added one title to his cabinet as a coach. The 51-year-old is undoubtedly one of the greatest batters India ever produced.

As Dravid has now handed over India's coaching duties to Gautam Gambhir, there are some reports suggesting that he is now likely to return in IPL as a coach of Rajasthan Royals.

The 2008 IPL campions are currently coached by former Sri Lanka skipper Kumar Sangakkara, who is reportedly being considered by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) as their new white-ball coach.
