Despite sustaining a leg injury while playing in a local league match, Indian stalwart and new Rajasthan Royals head coach Rahul Dravid attended the team’s IPL 2025 pre-season training session, displaying his full commitment.

In a video shared by the franchise on their official social media handle, Dravid was seen making his first appearance at the Royals’ camp, arriving in a golf cart before switching to crutches for mobility.

Although his left leg was secured in a medical walking boot, Dravid remained actively involved in the session despite his injury

He shook hands with players, before engaging in discussions with young talents like Riyan Parag, and shared a moment with Yashasvi Jaiswal as the young India opener was seen demonstrating shadow shots while seeking the legendary batter’s advice.

Seated with crutches in hand, Dravid closely observed the entire session on Wednesday.

The Royals earlier confirmed that Dravid suffered the injury while playing.

Last week, Dravid had injured his left calf muscle while batting for Vijaya Cricket Club against Jayanagar Cricketers in the Karnataka State Cricket Association Group I, Division 2 semifinal for the Sri Nassur Memorial Shield.

The 52-year-old, playing alongside his 16-year-old son Anvay, appeared in discomfort just two deliveries into his innings after reportedly pulling a calf muscle.
