Rajasthan Royals are reportedly looking for a head coach ahead of the IPL 2024 Auction. Cricbuzz reported that the inaugural champions have decided to retain Kumar Sangakkara as the Director of Cricket Operations for the new season, but they are looking for someone who can support him in the decision-making processes as the head coach.
Over the years, some big names of world cricket have been associated with the Royals franchise. In this listicle now, we will look at the six master tacticians whom Rajasthan Royals can consider as their next head coach.
1. Eoin Morgan can become Rajasthan Royals coach
Eoin Morgan joined the Paarl Royals team in SA20. He has stopped playing in IPL now and worked as a commentator last season. Perhaps, RR can approach him with a new role.
2. Aaron Finch can become Rajasthan Royals coach
Aaron Finch has played for the Rajasthan Royals in the past. He led Australia to the T20 World Cup title in 2021, which is why RR can think of approaching him.
3. Shane Watson can become Rajasthan Royals coach
Shane Watson is a former captain of the Rajasthan Royals. He has coached Delhi Capitals and is working as a coach in Major League Cricket as well, making him a decent option.
4. Irfan Pathan
Irfan Pathan has played a vital role in the rise of Jammu and Kashmir cricket. He has worked with the youngsters and found some new talents. Perhaps, RR could give him a chance in IPL.
5. Brad Hodge
Former Rajasthan all-rounder Brad Hodge guided Gujarat Lions to the playoffs in IPL 2016. Hodge also formed a great squad for Punjab Kings in IPL 2018, making him an option as well.
6. Andy Flower
Andy Flower recently left the Lucknow Super Giants. He guided the team to the playoffs in their first two seasons. Since Flower has a great coaching experience, even he can be a great choice for RR.
