The IPL 2025 has already kicked off, it seems. Two IPL franchises might announce a new head coach while one successful commander-in-chief has decided to call it quits. The Champions Trophy 2025 is also in the news. The topic remains the same old one: whether India will travel to Pakistan. International cricket also joined the head coach bandwagon, learning from the franchise frenzy as Gautam Gambhir started his tenure with India while Pakistan’s Gary Kirsten and Jason Gillespie received warnings.
Rahul Dravid’s RR return
A month after ending his tenure as India’s head coach, Rahul Dravid may have booked himself another gig. The man who guided India to their first ICC title in 11 years could join his old franchise, the Rajasthan Royals, for the upcoming IPL 2025 season as their head coach. The deal is basically complete, and we could hear an announcement soon.

Hours after hearing that Dravid might join the Rajasthan Royals, we heard that Ashish Nehra would leave the Gujarat Titans.

Nehra isn’t the only one leaving, as Director of Cricket Vikram Solanki is set to leave as well.
