"I am pleased to be returning to the franchise I have called 'home' for a number of years in the past. After the (T20) World Cup, I feel it's the ideal time for me to take on another challenge, and the Royals is the perfect place to do that," Dravid said.
Dravid donned the Rajasthan jersey from 2011-2013 and went on to lead the franchise back in 2012 and 2013. Under his captaincy, the team made it to the playoffs in the 2013 season and even to the final of the Champions League T20 tournament.
