In a touching display of fan appreciation, the Rajasthan Royals (RR) orchestrated a heartwarming meet-and-greet for ‘Jr. Jammy,’ a dedicated follower of Rahul Dravid. This delightful surprise captured the spirit of cricket fandom and underscored the close bond between the franchise and its supporters.
Rahul Dravid, who recently rejoined the Royals as head coach for the 2025 IPL season, had just led the Indian team to victory in the T20 World Cup. His return to RR is particularly significant, as he first joined the team in 2011 after a stint with RCB, played for RR until 2013, and later served as a mentor from 2013 to 2015. Dravid’s reappointment marks a pivotal moment in RR’s history, symbolizing both a return to familiar grounds and a renewed chapter of success.
The surprise event was tailored specifically for Neel Shah, affectionately known as ‘Jr. Jammy,’ whose social media accounts are filled with tributes to Rahul Dravid. Initially led to believe he would be meeting Yashasvi Jaiswal for an interview, Jr. Jammy was left stunned when Dravid walked into the room instead. The sight of his idol left him speechless, as he struggled to process the unexpected joy of meeting Dravid in person.

Rahul Dravid, ever the gracious figure, embraced Neel and expressed his heartfelt appreciation for the fan’s unwavering support. This kind gesture not only highlighted Dravid’s humility but also showcased the meaningful impact cricket can have on its fans.
The event took place shortly after Dravid’s return to RR, reflecting the franchise’s deep connection with its fan base and the genuine joy that cricket brings to its supporters. As the IPL 2024 season approaches, the Royals’ thoughtful action serves as a reminder of the personal connections and joyous moments that make cricket more than just a game.
