Rajasthan Royals head coach Rahul Dravid was missing from his pre-seasons before IPL 2025 due to injury. The franchise confirmed that Dravid suffered a leg injury while playing cricket in Bengaluru and later joined the team. In a picture posted by RR on social media, Dravid was seen with an artist in his left leg, but the franchise said he was well healed and would soon join the team. The franchise said in a post, “Head coach Rahul Dravid, who was hurt while playing cricket in Bangalore, is well cured and will join us in Jaipur today.” Dravid became RR head coach before the IPL 2025 auction after winning the T20 World Cup 2024 title with Team India.

Rajasthan Royals (RR) captain Sanju Samson welcomed Vaibhav Suryavanshi, the youngest signature signed in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the age of 13, looking at his six-right ability and said that the batsman looks ready for “some panches”.
Last year, during the IPL mega auction, the biggest surprise that emerged, Suryavanshi became royal for Rs 1.1 crore. Born on March 27, 2011 in Bihar, Vaibhav is the youngest player in the list. He started his first class for Bihar in January 2024 at the age of only 12 years and 284 days. Last year, he was part of the India U19 match against Australia in Chennai, where he broke the 58 -ball centenary.
He was also the seventh tallest run-goldter in the ACC under the 19 Asia Cup 2024-25. He scored 176 runs in 5 matches in the tournament and with a highest score of 76*.
Speaking to Jiohotstar as a part of the ‘superstar’ program, Samson said that today young players are not lacking confidence and understand the brand of Indian cricket that should be played.
“Instead of me, instead of advising, I like to observe first-how a young man wants to play his cricket, what kind of support he likes with me. Then, I do my work around him. Vaibhav looks very confident. He was hitting sixes from the ground in the academy. Brother,” He said.
