Rahul Dravid is a former captain and coach of India who has been in the cricket system for a long time and has made a significant amount of money both during and after his cricket career. At present, Dravid has a staggering net worth of USD 40 million.
Dravid, who was one of the best batters to have ever played the game, amassed 24,177 runs in international cricket during his playing career, which spanned from 1996 to 2012. Since he stopped playing, Dravid has had a variety of sources of income.
His time as the Indian team’s coach and in the IPL has been incredibly profitable and successful. He led the India A and U19 squads to win in the 2018 ICC U-19 World Cup while serving as head coach from 2015 to 2021. His appointment as the senior Indian national team’s head coach in 2022 was a result of his coaching prowess.
The Indian squad has had incredible success with Rahul Dravid at the helm.
Winning the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in 2024 and the Asia Cup in 2023 are noteworthy achievements. In the 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup and 2023 ICC World Test Championship, the team also placed second. Since he was recently named coach of the Rajasthan Royals, Dravid will be playing in the Indian Premier League again.
It gives me great pleasure to be joining the franchise that I have considered “home” for several years. I think now would be the best time for me to take on a new challenge, and the Royals are the right spot to achieve that after the World Cup. Considering the calibre of players and resources at our disposal, it’s a wonderful chance for us to advance this squad, and I’m eager to get going,” Dravid stated in a statement.
