It is important to acknowledge that Kumar Sangakkara has performed admirably for the Rajasthan Royals, guiding them to the 2022 championship game and the 2024 postseason.
The coaching staff of the Indian men’s senior side will change following the conclusion of the forthcoming T20 World Cup 2024. After the World Cup, current head coach Rahul Dravid will step down, and the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) is searching for a replacement.
Prospects such as Gautam Gambhir, Stephen Fleming, and numerous others are said to have been explored; also, former Sri Lankan cricket player and current head coach of the Rajasthan Royals, Kumar Sangakkara, is said to be a contender.
The former cricket player has, however, declared his intention to withdraw from the contest, stating that he is unable to devote his time to a full-time international task.
“I haven’t received any approaches, and I can’t dedicate my time to a full-time coaching position in India.” I’m content with my time with the Royals; we’ll see how it develops.” Sangakkara stated during the IPL 2024 qualifier 2 press conference.
Sandeep has been fantastic for us. The Sangakkara Rajasthan Royals’ IPL 2024 campaign came to an end as the team lost in qualifier 2 and was consequently ousted from the competition. In the game that determined whether or not the first-ever champions would advance to the final, Sunrisers Hyderabad defeated RR in spite of RR’s best attempts.
Following the match, Kumar Sangakkara took the field to compliment RR’s ball-handling skills, highlighting Sandeep Sharma’s outstanding effort for the team.
“I believe he just needs to play a different role. We always knew that many teams employed him up front, but we also understood that he would be incredibly useful for us in the center and in the closing stages of games because of his quickness and skill, according to Sangakkara.
