Rahul Dravid’s Recent Engagements

Dravid, one of India’s most celebrated batsmen, has had an illustrious cricketing career, amassing over 24,000 international runs across formats. After serving as the Indian team’s head coach and guiding them to victory in the 2024 T20 World Cup, his tenure concluded in July.

Following his exit from the national team, Dravid returned to his former IPL franchise, Rajasthan Royals, where he took on the role of head coach. He was actively involved in the IPL 2025 mega auction, where the franchise made headlines for signing 13-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi, the youngest-ever player to be purchased in the tournament’s history.

While the Bengaluru road incident gained widespread attention, Dravid’s focus remains on his coaching career as he gears up for the upcoming IPL season.
