IPL 2026: Rajasthan Royals Part Ways With Long-time Fielding Coach Dishant Yagnik
Indian Premier League: Ahead of the 2026 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), inaugural edition winners Rajasthan Royals (RR) have marked another shift in changing the franchise’s backroom structure by parting ways with long-time fielding coach Dishant Yagnik.
Yagnik, who played for Rajasthan in the domestic cricket circuit, had been associated with the franchise first as a player from IPL 2011 to 2014 seasons, and since 2018, he had been their fielding coach. “Yes, it’s confirmed that RR and Yagnik have gone their separate ways. It happened some time ago, but has come into light now,” said sources aware of the development to IANS on Saturday.
Yagnik was known to have played a key role in nurturing both Indian and overseas players in his time at the franchise. The move comes just weeks after Rahul Dravid, who had signed a multi-year contract as RR’s head coach after coaching India to the 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup win, stepped away from the role after an underwhelming IPL 2025 campaign.
