    Rahul Sir Picked Me In 2013 To Play Under Him, Now He’s Back As Coach When I Am Captain: Samson

    Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson said his reunion with Rahul Dravid, who will be the side’s head coach, has been a moment of pure nostalgia, as he was the one who picked him to play for the franchise all the way back in 2013.

    Dravid was the RR skipper when an 18-year-old Samson made his IPL debut in 2013, before transitioning as team mentor for the next two seasons. After being in the national set-up, including coaching India to 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup win, Dravid is back in RR as their head coach when IPL 2025 starts from March 22.

    "It’s quite funny how things work out. In my first season, Rahul sir was the one who spotted me during the trials. He was the captain back then, looking out for young talent. After watching me, he came up to me and said, ‘Okay, can you play for my team?’ From that day to today, it feels surreal.”
