Rahul Dravid led Rajasthan Royals back in 2012
Taking over the reins from Shane Warne and carrying forward Rajasthan Royals’ culture was a challenge in itself. But Rahul Dravid, with his experience and leadership tenure with the Indian cricket team was the best fit. Rahul Dravid was Rajasthan Royals’ oldest captain when he took over the reins at the age of 39 in IPL 2012.
Having spent an entire season under Warne’s captaincy, Dravid was able to take the team forward in the same direction, with an emphasis on creating a supportive environment for youngsters to prosper in the IPL. Dravid finished his first season as captain of Rajasthan Royals in seventh place in IPL 2012. The team finished third in 2013 but lost out to Mumbai Indians for a place in the final.
