India head coach Rahul Dravid was in attendance at the Chinnaswamy Stadium to witness an IPL 2023 match between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Sunday (April 23).

Dravid is enjoying his time off as Indian team stars are busy with the ongoing IPL. He recently was on a vacation in the Maldives with his family.

His next assignment as India’s coach is the World Test Championship (WTC) final against Australia at the Oval in London from June 7-11. With star players like Jasprit Bumrah, Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant being injured, the Indian team management has plenty of issues to address ahead of the big final.

"Yeah, it's a lot more relaxing to watch it this way than to watch it as a coach. Obviously, you are lot more invested in the game as a coach. You are analysing everything," Dravid told IPL in a video shared on Twitter.

Rahul Dravid was mighty impressed with the talents on display in the 16th edition of the Indian Premier League.

"Obviously you have one eye as a fan but you also have one eye as a coach is open. You are always looking to see how the boys are doing who are part of the white-ball setup (for India). So some regular discussions among the coaches as well. When you see something happening we always text and keep messaging each other about stuff. Good to see some of the young kids come and perform really well," he added.

In his IPL career, Dravid represented Royal Challengers Bangalore and Rajasthan Royals and he felt great to be watching the action from the Chinnaswamy stands.

"Just lovely to come here, watch it and have some fun. The family is here as well, lovely stadium and good vibes, good atmosphere. Two teams that I have played for as well. So it's nice, once in a while, to watch a game of cricket without thinking about it too much," Dravid concluded.
