Rajasthan Royals appears to be undergoing some significant transition currently. Before IPL 2026, the side dismissed head coach Rahul Dravid, and has now also said goodbye to CEO Jake Lush McCrum, according to a report in Cricbuzz. According to the report, McCrum himself phoned a few IPL colleagues from other franchises, regarding his departure. Earlier, Kumar Sangakkara's job was also under threat. According to a prior report in the same publication, certain key decisions were to be made in a London meeting. Vikram Rathour was to be kept on as the batting coach, however. Trevor Penny, the assistant coach, may just find himself with a more prominent role at the franchise, but nothing is final till now. 🚨RR part ways with CEO🚨After Rahul Dravid, Rajasthan Royals CEO Jake Lush McCrum has also parted ways with the franchise #IPL #IPL2026 pic.twitter.com/RZblE7aOJE — Cricbuzz (@cricbuzz) September 9, 2025 Also Read | SA20 2025-26 Fixtures Out: MI Cape Town vs Durban to Kick Off Season 4 Future Looks Bleak for Sanju Samson?
