Former India head coach Rahul Dravid has reportedly resigned from his role as mentor and coach of Rajasthan Royals following a reported dispute within the team over leadership, involving captain Sanju Samson and youngsters Riyan Parag and Yashasvi Jaiswal.
According to media reports, differences emerged within the franchise on the issue of succession planning and captaincy responsibilities. While Samson continues as captain, discussions around grooming Parag and Jaiswal for future leadership roles are said to have created friction.
Dravid, who joined the Royals in a mentoring capacity after his stint with Team India, was expected to bring stability and long-term planning to the side. However, reports suggest that the ongoing disagreements over team leadership eventually led him to step down from his position.
The development comes at a time when Rajasthan Royals are seeking to strengthen their core team for the upcoming IPL season. With Sanju Samson as the face of the franchise and young talents like Jaiswal and Parag showing promise, the leadership debate has become a sensitive issue.
Neither Dravid nor the Royals management has issued an official statement so far. However, insiders suggest that the franchise will soon announce its next course of action regarding coaching responsibilities.
The reported exit of Dravid has sparked reactions from fans, many of whom expressed disappointment on social media, highlighting his reputation for discipline and team-building. The Royals now face the challenge of managing internal dynamics ahead of the new season.
