However, a report by Cricbuzz has peeled the layers of the exit of Rahul Dravid, who has a sudden nature, but in fact it is not one. Following the conclusion of the IPL 2025, the team owner, Manoj Badale, requested a seasonal review meeting in London, where Dravid had, and was offered a “broader” role he rejected.
Although Dravid’s departure has been related to Sanju Samson, this is not exactly the case. The disagreements between Dravid and Samson were only the usual spit of coach captain, and things improved with each other during the final stages of the competition.
“ It was believed that their relationship was merely the usual, normal and regular disagreements that are seen in the relationships between any coach and captain.In fact, they are both hands of Royals Old, and only their meeting could be assumed that it would be critical of the future of the franchise, and for all accounts, they were seen in the eyes in the last games, where they seemed to be synchronized well for a few games. ”

“It is unclear if Sangakkara has been invited to the London meeting, but it is understood that Vikram Rathour, the former Indian coach who joined the Royals next to Dravid last year, is likely to attend. At the moment, it seems that Rathour continues the franchise,” the report added.
In addition, several Franchises IPL want to have Dravid in their configuration and the Legend of India could be seen in one of the teams’ mouths in the coming seasons.
Returning to the subject of Sanju Samson, the Kerala superstar who wants to leave is not directly related to Rahul Dravid; Therefore, his departure will not change in the mind of the batter, with the final decision in the hands of the franchise.
“The presence or absence of Dravid has recently difference, as Samson’s relationship with the franchise has reached a stage where he asked the franchise to seek a trade on his behalf. This clearly indicates that he is looking for a new direction. But leaving the team cannot be the choice of Samson,” said Cricbuzz’s report.
