timesofindia.indiatimes.com

Rajasthan Royals' head coach Rahul Dravid is making headlines as he prepares for the IPL 2025 season. Despite a leg injury, he continues to support his team using an electric wheelchair. Dravid was seen at the training ground in Jaipur, where he arrived with a cast on his left leg. Fans quickly noticed Dravid's situation when a video of him in the wheelchair circulated online. Many expressed concern about his injury, but they also praised his commitment to being involved with the team despite the discomfort. Dravid's injury occurred during a cricket match in Karnataka. While playing for Vijaya Cricket Club, he started to feel pain early in his innings. He managed to play through it for a while and even formed a partnership with his son, Anvay, before needing help to leave the field. In an earlier match, Dravid returned to competitive cricket after some time away. He played alongside Anvay, scoring 10 runs before being out. This father-son moment resonated with fans. The Rajasthan Royals, who won the first IPL season in 2008 and were finalists in 2022, will begin their 2025 season against Sunrisers Hyderabad on March 23 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.
