Dravid deserves it for his experience and I'm sure he can lead well.

Ya surely he should be a good captain

Interesting. The last time he captained (Team India) it was a disaster.

By now I think he might have learnt from his mistakes so just hoping he doesn't do another fiasco like when captaining India and RCB in IPL 2008.

The time when he captained India, his batting form was amazing! He became the best finisher from a defensive player then!

Aww, this just makes me sad - no more Warne Good luck though Rahul.

Only India? What happened to Team RCB in Season 1?

Dravid will be a great captain for RR, I bet.

You can catch him as part of Melbourne Stars. Who knows he might unretire from IPL as well (Most likely midway when RR are in SOS mode and want to replace Dravid )

Royals don't have enough quality batsman in their side. They also need a replacement for Warne. (murali will be ideal). it will be tough for dravid but it is t20 you never know.

I also hope that.Warne was so energetic in the field while bowling in IPL 2011.He retired probably because of his girlfriend Liz Hurley.But this time I think his comeback chances in IPL are very low......Don't expect him to be back.

Classy pick. Easily the best option around. Here is hoping he does well.

Meh, just give him a big paycheck and let him enjoy it. Bleedin' earnt it.
