Indian cricket legend Rahul Dravid on Friday joined Rajasthan Royals as head coach, just months after he ended his stint with the national team.

Under his guidance, India lifted the T20 World Cup this year by beating South Africa in the final.

The IPL squad posted on X: " Rahul Dravid, India's legendary World Cup-winning coach, is set for a sensational return to Rajasthan Royals!"

The cricket icon was captured receiving his Pink jersey from the Royals Sports Group CEO Jake Lush McCrum

“After the World Cup, I feel it's the ideal time for me to take on another challenge, and the Royals is the perfect place to do that”, Dravid was quoted as saying by the official X page of the IPL squad.

Rahul Dravid had earlier played for IPL and led the franchise in 2012 and 2013.

He also worked as mentor and Director of Cricket in 2014 and 2015.
