Rajasthan Royals are poised to part ways with their coach, Kumar Sangakkara, following the arrival of former Team India head coach, Rahul Dravid, to the camp. The Sri Lankan legend has reportedly decided to leave the 2008 IPL champions.
However, even if KKR finalise Sangakkara, they will need to explore additional options for their coaching staff, as former assistant coaches Abhishek Nayar and Ryan ten Doeschate have also departed the three-time champions to join Gambhir’s coaching staff for the Indian national team.
Here’s a look at Sangakkara’s record as Rajasthan Royals’ coach

Sangakkara started off with an under-performing RR side and finished 7th in the 2021 season with a win percentage of 35.70% that year.
Nevertheless, the lack of trophies since the tournament’s inaugural edition has left RR with no choice but to consider alternative options.
