New Delhi – Sri Lankan batting great Kumar Sangakkara will return to the Rajasthan Royals to lead the coaching staff after the exit of Rahul Dravid as head coach.
According to ESPNcricinfo, Sangakkara, who has been RR's Director of Cricket since 2021, is set to fill the void left by Dravid's departure, and has already started planning for the 2026 season.
Since joining RR in 2021, Sangakkara has doubled up as the head coach, and the Sanju Samson-led franchise made the playoffs twice in four seasons under his watch.
In 2022, RR reached the final for the first time since wining the IPL in the inaugural season in 2008, but lost to Gujarat Titans in the title clash.
After finishing fifth in 2023, RR reached the playoffs the following season, when they lost in Qualifier 2.
