Indian Premier League: Following a frustrating efficiency at the 2025 Indian Premier League(IPL), Rajasthan Royals have actually gone through an extensive revamp within the franchise.

Previously, Rahul Dravid stepped down as the head coach of the franchise, months after the conclusion of IPL 2025.

Now, Cricbuzz has actually reported that spin-bowling coach Sairaj Bahutule and fielding coach Dishant Yagnik have actually ended their agreements with the Royals.

Bahutule invested just one season with the Royals. He signed up with the franchise in 2015 after ending his period at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru.

Dishant Yagnik has actually been a part of the Rajasthan Royals for a long time. He began his period with the Rajasthan-based franchise as a cricketer, and after that he took charge as the fielding coach.

Previously, Cricbuzz reported that previous Sri Lankan skipper Kumar Sangakkara is set to return as the head of the franchise. The Royals are yet to make it main.

Based on reports, Kumar Sangakkara will bring his group of coaches who had actually dealt with him previously. Previous Zimbabwean cricketer Trevor Penney, who formerly dealt with the franchise, is most likely to sign up with Rajasthan Royals.

Previous India batting coach Vikram Rathour is set to keep his chair in the franchise in spite of significant modifications taking location.

In current times, there have actually been reports that Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson has actually asked the franchise to end his agreement.

In the 18th edition of the IPL, Rajasthan Royals completed their trip in the competition at ninth put on the standings with 8 points and a net run rate of -0.549.

Under Rahul Dravid’s training, the Royals played 14 matches, clinching 4 wins and yielding 10 beats in the IPL 2025.
