As Gautam Gambhir takes on India coach challenge Rahul Dravid in talks for KKR mentor role
Ahead of IPL 2025 in a significant move, the Kolkata Knight Riders have approached Rahul Dravid to take on the role of team mentor. This development comes as the defending IPL champions seek to fill the vacancy left by Gautam Gambhir’s departure.
As per news report, Rahul Dravid, the outgoing head coach of the Indian cricket team, is reportedly being considered for the mentor position at KKR. Dravid, a revered figure in Indian cricket, has a wealth of experience and a successful coaching record, making him a strong candidate for the role.
Gautam Gambhir, who played a important role as KKR’s mentor during their victorious IPL 2024 campaign, has recently parted ways with the franchise. Gambhir, celebrated for his contributions to India’s triumphs in the 2007 World T20 and the 2011 World Cup, is expected to take on the role of head coach for the Indian national team.
As KKR is getting ready for the upcoming season, the potential addition of Rahul Dravid as mentor is expected to bring a new wave of strategic insight and leadership to the team.
