Pumped up Rahul Dravid jumps out of wheelchair as 14-year-old scores century in 35 balls

Rahul Dravid has always been one of the most measured cricketers around, even during his playing days. But the elder stateman, who is the head coach of the Rajasthan Royals in the ongoing Indian Premier League, could not help himself and jumped out of his wheelchair as the 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi scored a century in 35 balls on the way to helping RR chase down Gujarat Titans’ target of 210 runs on Monday. In fact, a video from the IPL broadcaster showed Dravid initially stumbling as he got off his wheelchair. After composing himself, Dravid celebrated with gusto that is uncharacteristic. Dravid has been wheelchair bound — or has used crutches — for the entirety of the IPL 2025 season after injuring his leg while playing backyard cricket in Bengaluru.

Rajasthan Royals coach Rahul Dravid rubbishes reports of rift with skipper Sanju Samson | Ipl News

Rajasthan Royals head coach Rahul Dravid on Friday rubbished rumours of any rift with skipper Sanju Samson, saying that all these outside talks were baseless. The speculations about a rift had surfaced when a video went viral where in Rajasthan Royals’ match against the Delhi Capitals on Wednesday, Dravid was seen in a huddle with RR players deciding which batters would take strike in the Super Over. Skipper Samson was standing a little away from the huddle and when a RR player asked him to join in, he declined with a hand gesture. “I don’t know where these reports are coming from. Sanju and I are on the same page,” Dravid said in a press conference ahead of Rajasthan’s match against Lucknow Super Giants on Saturday. “He’s a very integral part of our team. He’s involved in each and every decision and discussion. Sometimes, when you lose games and things don’t go right, you face criticism and we can take it on our performances, but we can’t do anything about this baseless stuff. The spirit …
