Jaipur, Dec 3: Veteran Indian batsman Rahul Dravid was today named captain of the Indian Premier League team Rajasthan Royals, filling up a post left vacant by retired Australian spin legend Shane Warne earlier this year.
The 38-year-old Dravid was bought by the Royals for USD 500,000 in the players’ auction this year after playing three seasons with Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Dravid, who is being bestowed with the ‘Polly Umrigar Award for India’s best cricketer of 2010-11’ by the BCCI, has had a great year in which he has scored 1,258 runs in 15 Tests, including six centuries.
