Indian cricketer Rahul Dravid's car & a commercial goods vehicle were involved in a minor accident on Cunningham road in #Bengaluru. And unlike the #cred ad, #RahulDravid & the goods vehicle driver engaged in a civilized argument & left the place later. No complaint so far pic.twitter.com/HJHQx5er3P

Rahul Dravid is set to return to coaching as he heads to the IPL dugout with Rajasthan Royals for the coming season of IPL. Dravid was instrumental in helping India reach the finals of 2023 WTC, and 2023 ODI World Cup. Team India finally got their much awaited silverware by winning the 2024 T20 World Cup.
Rahul Dravid will be waiting for his skipper Sanju Samson to get fine for the upcoming season after getting hit on his finger. Samson was hurt after a short ball from Jofra Archer during the final T20I in Mumbai. It is expected that the 30-year-old will be sidelined for a few weeks and could be fit before IPL 2025 begins.
Sanju Samson had a forgettable time with the bat during the recent T20I series against England. Former India skipper K. Srikkanth feels that Samson may not get another chance in international cricket.
The former skipper and chairman of selectors during his chat with the media said, "Sanju Samson seems to have missed his chance. For the fifth time, he got out in the same way, playing a shot that’s becoming all too familiar. It almost feels like he’s trying to assert himself, as if saying ‘no, I’ll play this shot’. Is he on an ego trip or just struggling? I’m not sure."
Srikkanth also added, "It’s really disappointing. I’m upset. We had discussed why he wasn’t included in the Champions Trophy squad, and if he continues like this, then it might be time to say, ‘thank you, but sorry.’ In my view, Yashasvi Jaiswal will take his spot in the next T20I."
